Green Yard

It was hot

a lot.

The rain has poured

and drizzled.

Things are lush and green.

My poor little garden has had a flood
of sand obliterate a lot of the tiny plants.
The heavy rain, the other day, left
what was left of the beets, well, beaten.

Some of the lettuce is still growing.
There is time to plant more.

The moist greenness is
nearly everywhere.
