Before Me

 

-------Before Me-------

 

Digging 

new beds

for a hillside garden

 

I can feel the hands

that dug here

before me

 

Their bodies in rhythm,

like music,

with the season

 

Move through me

and keep

me moving

 

Knees bent,

back straight,

bare feet upon the earth

 

A care-full gesture

to honor

this body

 

And those 

who have come

before me.
