Mulch
The gardens are black
with new mulch. What does
this stench have to do with leaves
and blossoms.
Just as bleach and vinegar
alert us to what is clean
through their odor,
we anticipate petals
from the reeking mulch,
flowers and trees
cradling great armfuls of leaves.
The sunlight cultivates shade,
becomes shade.
