Home in the Garden

These fence reflect used up match sticks of past
These trees bloomed with flowers seasons apart
These grasses carpeted the ground floor fast
These trumpets of white purely gowns, Gods art

Choko shoots take time to grow in numbers
Aibika’s are leafless for some time now
Pumpkin shoots, are too few, in mere numbers
Banana’s do take forever to grow

Roof leaking in odd places, need fixing
Walls blackening with mold and tedious time      
Floor cracks, giving way to heavy weighting
Sink leak, washing walls, wetting floors, all time

The bed, console, haven, comfort, more so
Sleep sweet, dream sweet, ‘morrow brings yet hope, so
