The Gentle Gardener

Feed the soil
It will yield
Bio-icons
Techno-tubers
Juniper trees to sit under
Sticky holly
Diverse radishes
And weeds, yes weeds
Enter the gardener
Alas the gentle gardener
No white gloves
But green
Or brown
Lean forward
Or better kneel
Comb the earth
Clothe the seeds
Caress the plants
Cut the food
From the skin
The flower
from the stem
Bring it to the table
Let it be a center piece
Or the main course
Let me be that
Gentle Gardener
