#garlic
Everyone has tasted it,
its fire, its hidden sweetness.
Wash it a thousand times,
boil it, roast it, grind it fine
still it clings, still it lingers on the tongue.
So it is with certain souls:
no kindness softens them,
no gentle word can turn their core.
Do not grieve.
Keep your flavor pure,
and let theirs be their own.

The restaurant
We ate at
The last time I saw you
Is now closed
I didn’t know that would be the last time I would see you
I didn’t know that would be the last time I
would eat there
You looked into my eyes for the first time since I picked you up to say “this is the best garlic bread I have had in my entire life”
It took us 47 minutes to get there
It took us 61 minutes to get home
Because we sat in the parking lot of a gas station I’d only been to once before, but liked a lot
I haven’t been there since we were
Either
We listened to that song
Not the one you quoted at “lunch”
Not the one about what you want and don’t
The one that asks why
I took you back
To his house
I parked a block away
I cried

I am eating delicious
sweet corn and chicken soup:
sweet crunchy corn,
soft flavorsome garlic,
stringy delectable egg,
tasty chewy chicken,
and hot savory broth
which warms my torso;
I am enjoying
the experience
of being alive
while eating.

spring planting, spring harvesting, spring garlic
One of the great joys of having a job in agriculture
is to think days, weeks, even months ahead,
One of the great joys of having a job in poetry,
like a fireman, a patient planter of love,
you wait to be called,
then becoming by being,
part of an all consuming burning
come spring, take advantage of the cool, wet weather of spring
to put in multiple crops of peas and lettuce, also a great time
to get your perennial vegetables,
like asparagus and rhubarb, started
the planting cycle is not an either/or,
come harvest thy labored fruits,
nine crops to harvest come March,
kale, pick leaves as needed,
leeks, best left in the ground
and harvested as needed,
parsnips, purple sprouting broccoli,
rhubarb, spring cabbage, spring cauliflower,
and of course, my personal fav,
Spring Garlic
Garlic, like like love, is generally planted in the fall,
before the frost and harvested the following late summer.
But from March to May,
once the ground has truly thawed,
the young lover plants, spring garlic or green garlic,
can be harvested.
it’s a long bus ride to Western Canada
where the garlic spring has come,
ain’t complaining lots of time to write foolishness
and plant a few good bus poems in northern ontario
and even michigan,
the window slides, and the seeds scattered,
but at every bus poet stop,
those that need it,
planted many inches deep
April 2 naught how I wish I was nineteen again

i like bugs.
they remind me
that life is important
on a small scale.
even the most frustrating
are beneficial to nature and
our ecosystem wouldn't be the same
without them.
except mosquitoes.
they can **** right off,
the ***** bloodsucking ********

My lover of the night she was a biter,
what can I say I liked that way she
****** on parts other than my neck.
But I threw caution to the wind, I had
a cold, eating breaded mushrooms.
She was coming around as night fell.
Mouthwash not wanting my breath
to smell like the undead on her lips,
she is eternally flawless in moonlight.
I guide her downward towards my
stake, she can bite off more than she
chews, and then some more.
I tell her to take it in taking it all, but
then a scream as I expelled my life blood
as my fanged beauty turns to dust.
I wonder what happened no light or
garlic? then I read the empty wrapper
garlic mushrooms, this really *****

Round it is,
her hair,
pink,
baby pink.
Round like the three clumped vegetables in your mother's basket by the stove,
Supposedly,
white,
but on her head turned pink.
These garlic hang down at the side of her face.
These are not garlic but hair shaped like garlic,
defining the shape of her face,
highlighting her high cheekbones
highlighting her innocent glazed prideful eyes

If creation
were simple,
it would be boring.
Contradictions,
internal and external,
the garlic
of existence:
Pass me that clove!

First, garlic.
Dig your nails into its flaking paper,
pink and beige like magnolia petals parched
in the gutter.
Peel back the skin and crush
the weighted bud
with the heel of your hand on your favourite knife.
It has been waiting for this.
The thick expectent smell sits up on the chopping board,
looks up at you like an old friend.
It has burrowed itself into the skin of your hands and lingers there
it will not be washed away, instead
it quietly clings to your fingers, flavouring
letters on your keyboard, the edge of the banister,
every light switch in the house.
The pulped clove is scattered into a scraped frying pan,
your grandmother's; it was never non-stick.
The stuck parts were always the best bit,
and so it goes,
the oil and creamy crumbs find the same spots,
engineered over forty years.
Some were accidents. All were happy.
Yours were ambition-led experiments.
The thumbs in the brown recipe book
were never your thumbs,
the dried-out sedimentary edges
were never your mishaps
but still it is a bible of sorts,
providing answers but never asking questions.
Later after dinner when everything is cleared away
and nobody can tell that you had been cooking at all
bring your fingertips to your nose
and inhale
the remaining relic of your meal,
a letter to yourself,
the end notes enduring but faint
now, lastly
lastly
garlic.
