Jane Kenyon Quote

I am food on the prisoner's plate...
the patient gardener
of the dry and weedy garden...
the stone step,
the latch, and the working hinge.

I am food on the prisoner's plate... the patient gardener of the dry and weedy garden... the stone step, the latch, and the working hinge.

I am food on the prisoner's plate... the patient gardener of the dry and weedy garden... the stone step, the latch, and the working hinge.

I am food on the prisoner's plate... the patient gardener of the dry and weedy garden... the stone step, the latch, and the working hinge.

I am food on the prisoner's plate... the patient gardener of the dry and weedy garden... the stone step, the latch, and the working hinge.
