If you become a crocus in a hidden garden ...

Keep planting things

That’s what I do

It’s all I do

If there is a space

Then I want to plant something there

If whatever I plant doesn’t take

For whatever reason

I plant something else

I don’t just plant

I water

I fertilize

I trim tree branches  

I Pull weeds

I watch and

I love every part

Although the planting is my favorite

I don’t use gloves

I want to be able to look at my nails afterwards and

Know that I’ve done the dirty work and

Done it right and

Know that something is growing where

Only a moment before

There was nothing

So that is why

Five plus years in

I am still plangting
