I
My soft focus is hardening
I am tending and gardening
with soils and shrubs but no patches
of vegetables - just catches
catch crops between seasons of note
Allotment highs stick in my throat
II
My position accelerates
I run past new garden gates
I run the euphoria run
The high rises grow as I run
III
Now, my off-road dedication
results in buds / desiccation
Ground conditions are optimal
Away flies the suboptimal
Down the narrow, hedge-laden road
I revisit the runner’s code
IV
The flow is natural feedstock
All around are gardens that knock
and ring bells of longevity
Harvest time is in front of me
V
It waits for peak performances
