I don’t do much gardening anymore;
I only keep a box and
a few pots on my stoop.
But, like March,
the season of the flowering kale
has come to an end.
In its place comes April,
full of hope and new possibilities.
I have replaced the kale 
with pansies for now.
Later, I’ll put my dahlia tubers in pots
and change up the pansies
for something that can take
the heat of summer.
And so, Spring Break ends,
this month of daily writing ends,
but the journey
around the sun
continues.
