Six months ago I planted
Geraniums on the terrace
And when I started
Pulling out the dead stalks
My fingers felt my childhood
Entire grounds of geraniums
On twelve acres of garden
Stubborn scent that I demand
And demand again of my fingers
But six months now
The acres
Of my childhood
Wither away
Sylvie M. Miller
