towards the end of february

my grandfather begins to ring

wanting to know if we've got our seeds

and if they've been sowed

our seeds have been sowed

good...good he replies

and in the days that come thereafter

the phone rings with a new kind of sound

have they sprouted

why yes...yes they have

which leads to the daily check in's of

how are they doing

or how high today

a simple little thing

a connection that continues on

the sowing of seeds, the sprouting and growth that happens all in good time

to the sweetest of grandfathers and peas to add
