ASPARAGUS
I learned asparagus
when I was only four,
was sent to the backyard
to pinch a few spears for dinner.
My earliest recollection
of work, a simple errand,
a joyful bringing
of goodness from the garden –
the good that is the earth,
the simple sharing,
the blessing of family,
a benediction of green.
