Reading Tree Temperature with My Toes



MIDWEEK, EARLY MAY

Yankees beat the Mariners 5-4
last night, scoring three
in the 9th after rain delay.
Walking the garden
bare feet this morning
looking at tiny roots
coming up in wet grass.
My grandson helps me work
the soil into better health
with leaves and mulch in fall.
We know the trees
are talking to us
and what they're saying
has nothing to do with baseball.
