Jardim

A verbing for Selma Martin

Each day I go springing outside
with my mulberried hair
caping for gooseberries
measurling the seed growth
as they go jacking and beanstalking up the citrus

I pond for snails
then meadow in the mellow grasses
turpentining my time
ladybugging out
petalled by leafhoppers
