The Gardens of Today

In my house is a small garden
Tended to by Narayan
It has a lemon tree and a coriander bush
And lives on grass and photosynthesis
The garden is old, and sometimes
It tires from being in bloom
For what is a garden, but just another lie?
One we tell to help us sleep
At night
The garden never changes
And it invites
With it’s pretty trees and colourful bushes
Nature using cosmetics would perhaps
Have the same effect
Be wary of gardens because
They are greedy
Some plants in them don’t wish you well
They entice and laugh as you trip and you
Fall down

The Bilge Master
