fairy.

i hope

the garden fairy,

who keeps watch, steadfast

over her subjects of great wisdom-

the cauliflower,

her subjects of relentless passion-

the cucumber,

her peasants-

broccoli and zucchini,

is unearthed

in 150 years

her ivory body

covered in dirt

she will be missing the butterfly that

graced her arm

her peachy lips now alabaster-

her watch is over.

A different seed is sown.
