In the Garden; 
After Louise Gluck's Matins

And in that garden
How so the first foot print
Angels high and near to pardon
The first frost, the first snow to dint.

We were there you and I
My life was in your eyes
Our hearts in God’s hands held high
Together, present under sky.

Ahead we knew not what
We were present to each other
In our embrace none forgot
Shoal of perch, flock of plover

Mountains, rivers, seas and shore
Savannah, grass land, marsh
Forests hedgerows, earth core.
Hurricane, tornado, volcano ash.

A garden moist, lush, green
Fig, grape, pomegranate, apple
Through deep leaves, snakes green sheen
Oh happy sin, oh necessary fault, leaves dapple.
