Adding Spice to Life


    Adding Spice to Life

On the day you were born,
sweet Basil,
deer were in the woods
watching us slow down.

 

On the day you were born,
sweet Basil,
a large flock of geese
floated on the creek.

 

On the day you were born,
sweet Basil,
we saw a mallard and his mate
and a merganser.

 

On the day you were born,
sweet Basil,
Your older brother had
garlicky hummus on pita for lunch

 

with slices of cucumber.
