Egg cartons
make wonderful places
to plant lavender seeds in April.
Plant impatiens, and the nearly
invisible dust of camomile
that will become miniature daisies
in June. Try basil
and cosmos
and the strength
of spinach.
Fill the cardboard with organic soil
bought cheap at a discount store
for one thin dollar.
The seeds will be so small
in the palm of your hand--
pluck them
with a tweezer
and place the thick
memory of summer
precisely into the warm
dirt in that airy space of a sun room
and exhale while you water
each cell with the blue, glass
water bottle.
These are your prayers
waiting to blossom
like it was the last day
for that much beauty.
