where are the potatoes

Where are the potatoes, she wondered, watching
 Heat shimmer across her corn block, its leaves
 Each rustling against other, turning brown.
 Right here they were planted, next bed over,
 Evenly spaced, in two long lines, eyes up

  And covered in soft soil, mixed with compost --
 Really exactly as she had done these fifty years.
 Early next morning, she reached for her mason's hammer,

  The experiment with the spud hook having failed, and
 Heaving her old bones down onto her gardening stool
 Exactly at the end of that mysterious weedy bed;

  Pulled block after block of solid hexagonal clod
 Over, busting up each as she went, feeling for
 That coolness she knew as round starch balls
 All her life she'd depended on. It's not
 That she hadn't watered and weeded, no,
 Or fought those gophers well, newly arrived.
 Earth could not drink for once, it seemed.
 Some spuds appeared. They were even

  Smaller than those from last year. Some felt
 Hollow. Some were cracked. Some were
 Even green with poisons though they'd grown

  Well deep enough never to have seen sun.
 Oh, well, she thought, I'll take what I can get;
 Now we'll have barley for every other soup, with
 Dandelion to help stretch out my kale. This
 Earth, she told herself, never did all,
 Really even in days of rain. Barley I bought.
 Ere I go forth from here as buried flesh or ash, I'll
 Do as I have done: work with what is.

how she knows

How she knows she is not useless yet:
Old cornstalks must be shattered right
Where they stood green, to feed worms

She knows are waiting in darkness.
Her hens wait too, for water, for feed,
Especially for deadnettles, nipplewort,

Kale and comfrey. Some hummingbirds
Now arriving check the lilac for their
Own nectar bottle that hung there
While last spring, summer and fall
Slipped past. There are wasp queens

She finds sleeping in her woodpile;
Her heart skips a beat as she sees
Each one, for she fears them, yet

Interests herself in their rest and
Safety, for the good they do her garden.

Now she mucks out her barn, for
Of her things she values rich mulch, almost
To distraction, most. But slowly;

Under beams and eaves hang cobwebs,
Sacs of eggs suspended in each, waiting
End of winter, not to be disturbed.
Lest she forget to serve all equitably,
Every bucket of soiled barn water
She carries to her trees to tip out:
Something to stave off drought.

Yes, she's earned the right, she thinks,
Even in this so solitary place,
To call herself an asset to her friends.

too soon

These are not the tomatoes she wanted,
Heirlooms such as Cherokee Purple, or
Even Brandywines. But the clerk only
Sells what's brought in, finds labels, wands
Each three-inch pot through as she would

A bag of chips or box of three penny nails.
Really, the old woman muses, I should have
Ended my day at the seedsman, but it's not

Near here -- what, twenty miles? So I've
Opted for the discount store again, to buy
These things that hurt my soul: hybrids.

There's this about them, they do produce
Heavy fruits that please her folks and friends
Easily enough, and in larger numbers. But

To her there's something in them lacking.
Old varieties taste of the eyes of young
Men, of weeping, of laughter, of
A child's anger at being teased, of
The confusion of having one's braid pulled.
On the hybrids she can't say as much.
End to youth, beginning of sameness; a
Safety that came to her too soon.

election

She drags her rusty kneeler as way opens
amid plants knee high, wetting her blue
trousers in dew, as clouds decide

to open or not, as the morning star
recedes and hides itself, with a sliver
of new moon, in day. Poppies

have not yet awakened, nor daisies.
She kneels and kneels again, eyeing
potato vines, chard, kale, spinach, beets

to see are they hiding pretenders beneath
their skirts: thistle, geranium, nipplewort,
even nascent blackberries, ash trees, an oak.

Most of all, she seeks out bindweed, a long
vine snaking from place to place, climbing,
smothering fruitful things. She knows

she's prejudiced, but her rationale is:
bindweed's not for eating; raspberries are.
Her hands elect who dies, who lives today.

2026-05-02T16:51:43Z

see it through

One should not have an orchard and
Not care for it; so she tries,
Even lurches from the depths of a chair

She's found at some thrift, pre-softened; from
Her house, warm or cool as she might wish,
Out into too much sun or too much rain; from
Under the kind roof of a porch she'd built,
Leaving tool after tool there to gather
Dust and webs, marks of a new will to

Neglect. Beyond the weed-bent fence, an
Orchard of sorts awaits her care, each
Task having skipped two years at least.

Hands grasp lopper and saw. She visits
Apple, quince, pear, plum, cherry, clipping
Vines, tall weeds, watersprouts, suckers;
Even designates branches for her stove.

As the forenoon warms, she strips off
Now her hat, next jacket, shirt and gloves,

Old skin offered to thorns, thistles,
Rough bark. Really she'd meant to hire it done,
Children of neighbors being short on cash.
Habit, she could call it. Habit, and the way
Apples come best that see right sun,
Ripe enough to pay her for some pains.
Do a thing yourself to see it through.
