A Visit to Newhall Fields 
4/29/19
Wading through air full of mists,
my husband, my sister, and I slop
across long mud-tracks into open field.
Jeannette is all smiles as she tromps to meet us
in front of the straw-strewn gardens, her raincoat
streaked with earth, her cap dark with rain.
"Taste this" she says, plucking herbs
like chocolate mint. "Stomping on chamomile
is showing it love..."
and we stomp and we stomp
and we press and we stomp
and we laugh and we love it.
Running herbs through our fingers,
a cold, early spring air
runs its fingers through our hair.
"There is light, there are nutrients,
there is carbon" she says, and we learn
how to farm the sun.
Drawn by fragrances and magic,
my sister crouches—knees flanking her arms
like a frog—like a child.
Soft eyes below the brim of his blue baseball cap, 
my husband stolidly surveys;
his eyes as green as the tree line. 
I think gratefully, prayerfully, 
he has touched peace, he has rooted in it,
he has found it here.
There is something in all this—
the brown and black and green, green, green! 
things full of flavor all asking for love.
