The Spade Enters The Dirt With A Snicker 02/?/93

The spade enters the dirt with a snicker
of pebbles, soil, metal and the
snap of roots.

A seed. Place inside the gaping
grimace left behind t be
smothered by the snicker so
a crop can re-emerge.

Ritual. Dig, place, cover. Plant.
Ritual. What to expect. Hope -

The spade enters the dirt and the
whole shebang snickers and then
grimaces to find a seed already there.

Had it been placed there?
Out of the question, this was a secret garden.
How had it arrived?
