THE MYSTERIOUS GARDNER
I know a voluptuous naked woman
as gorgeous as can be who lives in
a greenhouse with bougainvillea,
wisteria, jasmine, and hibiscus.
She speaks the same language
as the flowers and is nourished
by their perfumed scent.
Her loving presence is pure sunlight
and it keeps the flowers blooming
as if they were children of her own
while she sings and dances to her favorite
Irish tunes like “Danny Boy,” and “Molly Malone.”
She also grows four-leaf clovers to make sure
the dream of her lover returning will come true.
