starting seeds at kilbourn

 On St. Patrick's Day, Dave, Annie, John, and I spent a few hours starting seeds at Kilbourn Organic Greenhouse.

I brought along the seedlings of De Cicco Broccoli and Copenhagen Market cabbage that I had started on my windowsill. We transferred the seedlings in their peat pots to larger containers.

once again

O sweet spontaneous
earth how often have
the
doting

          fingers of
prurient philosophers pinched
and
poked
thee
, has the naughty thumb
of science prodded
thy

     beauty       . how
often have religions taken
thee upon their scraggy knees
squeezing and

buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
gods
         (but
true
to the incomparable
couch of death thy
rhythmic
lover
   
         thou answerest



them only with
                   
                        spring)
