The Song of the Rotor-Tiller is Heard in Our Land

 

The tines are set for six inches

 

Today we harvest broken bits of glass

Fragments of old toys, bit of aluminum

A Sylvania flash cube still intact

From a picture taken decades ago

 

The tines are set for rich earth

 

Tomorrow we’ll plant sunflowers to sing

“Slava Ukraini!” In the summer sun

Tomatoes, zinnias, peppers in their zones

A little sweet corn and more flowers for fun

 

The tines are set for happiness

 

In this little garden-world of peace

Between the bee-pool and the olive tree
