My Garden

Hands in soil, coaxing life from dust,
I hold a secret, just one secret --
the way the light hits reminds me
of a summer evening -- 
hands, large hands, holding mine
for the briefest moment,
and my imagination spinning into flowers -- 
wild pinwheels
and concealing vines with scarlet funnels.

I couldn't make him see the flowers,
and that's how I could tell I was different.
