The Cow must be milked.
The Chicks must be fed.
Will the burned-out Rooster wake up?

In My Garden, Pinks
by Jacki Kellum

As winter’s darkness sinks,
And sunshine yawns and winks,
My back yard drinks and blinks,
And in my garden, pinks.

Catching lightning bugs beneath haloed street lamps, most of my childhood was spun with shimmering shards of light. Much of my childhood seemed like a Fourth-of-July picnic, and fragments of cold and juicy red watermelon-stars streamed across my sky—or did I simply wish?

I’ve reached the shore of my grandmother’s door,
The one from the garden, inside.
Oh, sun-sweet back room
Of my grandmother’s loom,
The place in the dirt
Of my grandmother’s skirt,
In your warm summer lap,
Hold me tight; I will nap,
On my grandmother’s porch,
Let me hide.
