Jardin du Poète

Moira Egan

The garden’s ancient walls are low and broken
and thus (yes, “even at my age”) easy
to scale. They say this was a garden Goethe
adored. I see him sketching1: helichrysum,
angelica (whose name reminds him of . . . )
and focused: parsing2 genus, species, love.
I’m sure he knew that cypress3 is the tree
that marks Italian cemeteries4, death
embodied5 in the dark green spears that gesture
toward heaven. I inhale6 : crisp vetiver,
grapefruit and orange so pungent7 that I’m thrust
back to another garden, where I learned
of bitter oxymoron in the sweet
and luscious8 fruit he fed me, piece by piece;
the faintly musky warmth of his embrace;
the ancient stone walls crumbled9, and my trust.
