Garden

 

poem1.jpg

Heart Attack ten years ago.

at 72. They stented

the widow maker.

Chest pain last year.

Stress test fine

but walked only four minutes.

Probably not the heart,

but can’t be sure.

Trouble finding medicine

to hold down the cholesterol:

muscle aches, a rash.

Try yet another statin?

/

You say your garden beckons every day.

“Don’t have to worry about decisions.

A weed is a weed

and it has to come out'“

/

Let me come and help you weed.
