Sweating In the Noon Day Sun

Today we are burying garlic

for the Third time—

It's a tradition now to take up

these heirloom bulbs,

and split them into singular cloves

We press them well—

an inch or so below the surface;

Nothing's easier,

that's what the old country farmers say

—to grow than this—

but we just don't find it to be so

ever since Count

Dracula came three season's ago.
