before a meal, I remember
my grandmother’s prayers
in Swedish, and her voice

what may seem lost

Three Garden Poems
daylilies bloom
every year and again
this year
garden memories
some losses over time
what stays and blooms
every year – snowdrops,
daffodils, daylilies, hosta,
goldenrod – and new plants
to try a few at a time
summer garden
some work yesterday
we keep the path
to the door clear
rest in an old chair
careful with the sun
and new ideas for
the garden this year
