Rosemary

Rosemary

almost december,
i dug, as she said.

   take up the
      rosemary,
out of the bed.

      i dug as
directed, she
knows what 
   she wants

   dug up the 
      herbs, put 
them in pots.

winter, you see
will be coming
      by soon, 

and cold will get
nasty, far beyond
      gruesome.

   but her herbs
      in a pot and
under our lights, 

should live all 
      the winter
      and into 
the spring.
