My Hanging Garden
Out on the stone patio I sit, alone but for birds and insects, contemplating the riotous greenery falling in undisciplined waves down the blue walls of the pit that used to be filled with water thousands of gallons of it from a natural spring. If I close my eyes I can hear the shouts of a pack of teenage boys as they jump and splash in its sparkling depths, horsing around in the rough and tumble way of those shedding the sweet soft skin of childhood, their voices cracking in the odd and unpredictable cadences of all who relentlessly march toward manhood. But those days are long dead, and now this great hole is nothing but an empty shell holding the detritus of the passing years: leaves and pebbles, twigs and the dried and flattened husks of flying, hopping, crawling creatures trapped in its neglected corners. It also holds the invisible: memories and heartbreak. This great pool, Olympian in scope, is now my hanging garden, my Babylon of golden days that, in my foolish and undisciplined navet, I thought would never end. But end they did, and it is fitting that the wildness of untrammeled nature has reclaimed its own. 2013 RC deWinter
