foster

you wore a chemo pump
in a black fanny pack
as you told me
about the snakes
that were summer-bad

i’d seen the holes
marring the lawn
i mowed for you
that i so so hope
you’ll mow again

you praised the six
scrawny tomato plants
i set out in rainy april
we know how badly we need
that sweet red slicing
