Winter light
reflected
refracted
flowing
emanating
from the Navarro River,
snaking northwest
from the Coastal Range
to the Pacific,
the fog and mist
a thoughtful gray
contrasting
my mindless ebullience.

“A way over yonder
Is a place I have seen
In a garden of wisdom
From some long ago dream.”

A wet spring evening
and a bottle of old Rhône
later
fifty varieties
of garlic
and two
of shallot
sat in my virtual carriage,
a plethora of allium
in the ether.

Land lent
by a gentleman and farmer
who regales me
with business strategies
of butts in the air
equaling
dollars in the bank.
The patch of dirt
is swank
with water and fencing
and tourist eyes
to ogle the bounty,
surrounded by vineyards
studded with important art
and the requisite
lavender and gnarled olive trees
of posh wine estates.
A young man
a valley boy
agreed to help me plant
fifteen hundred
plus
cloves
a staggering number
for a body unaccustomed
to the labor of farming.
