Fort Ruigenhoek 2

Fort Ruigenhoek 1

It’s all happening
Fledgling grief
Slender stalk
and greeny leaf,
a morning brief
in a weary yard
The soul’s dishevelment
“Why were you hiding?”
No, please thank you, I was not hiding
but biding
time
while the garden grew regardless
Octoberries (and a sniveling snail)
Moaning while pruning,
I find you
little man
slinking away from a fruit
you shouldn’t have eaten
in a season
it shouldn’t have known.
The fruit is the fruit
of God’s jumbo garden;
the season’s the season
of wisdom undone.
