dirt and seed

does he miss
his garden, a small dry square
of yard
beside the air conditioner
unit,
the concrete patio
and awning.
does he miss the tomatoes
and green beans.
lettuce,
tending to the soil,
the weeds,
stiffening the fence to
keep the rabbits out.
eighty years of dirt and seed.
of watering.
now done.
