In the garden with the cherry tree - where daffodils curb the fence - cats in long grass stalk the birds and the rhubarb patch is bursting.
The back of next door's shed. A white wall of pebbledash. It's one almighty canvas, the same size as a goal.

In the garden with a trampoline centre - first love sits poised in morning air - though we haven't shut our eyes all night, we're more alive than ever here.
King of the burning woodpile. Trimmed weeds in a mound. Neighbours chirping out of view. Sport scores over a blaring tune.

In the garden that's become a home - close to my place of worship - guests wave outside the temple, years and years of well-wishers.
Looking out for hedgehogs. Feeding a family of foxes. Like a wave in my brain, memories come flooding in.
IV
In the garden that was aforementioned - long after daylight has drowned - a friend of mine sits next to me and we gaze through broken cloud.
We've seen everything here: sun, rain, snow and hail. This garden knows all my pain and has helped me to heal.
