Room for Other Plants

The little patch of dirt
the garden in the yard
soil prepared for them
the flats from the nursery
in little straight lines
the space filling with these

What of the plants
growing on the porch
those started from seeds
the sheep of other flocks
needing to save
room for other plants
a garden of serendipity
