Watering the Sun

A line of sun growing against the wall of the house
warmed by the edge of the foundation
a line of flowers to come, a single stalk,
still weeks away, anticipated still
watering the sun, the giant flowers
that will bless our garden
soon enough. A line of sun
growing to the sky, tended a bit
watered in the rich soil
our patch of dirt
by the door
