refreeze

January 28th, 2008 | Food, Garden, General
on this day in… 2004… 2003… 2002

38 degrees in the morning, 43 in the afternoon
I believe I can smell wet earth, and I dream of gardens - fresh seedlings just sprung from the soil,
green and growing, and of running water.
But after dark my dream dissipates into fog
and flowing water freezes again
and stops.

I bake bread, working the dough with my hands because I can’t yet work the soil.
