(reprinted upon request for you Leeessa Beeesa)
*Brother*
Your garden was remarkable and free from pests everyone said I ate the artichoke paste and even then the teen-aged texture of your hand forged my taste.
We waited for our mother, yield-spread in graceless feast it was legend made then granted, waved on the spoon-end of an artichoke.
There was no assurance from year to year who knows which day the rabbits and deer overtook the garden whole seasons spent unspoken the planting remains entangled and seeding.
Later, wrapped in my winter smile, and in the late-ringing distance, you spoke in tones of crackled sun-split corn and acorn squash left in hardened lumps of plunder for the deer.

Thank you...it's an old one that I re-worked.
Still not too fond of it, though. The cadence is off or something.

I do believe it was the one and only time I actually enjoyed an artichoke.
Off to find the chips

We once had a pet rabbit named Eva when I was growing up.
It ate catfood and lived in our garage in a cage.

Lately I feel devoid of words.
Hence my next post as a quote, which I don't like to do. But I did anyway.
