the builders erected their scaffold outside my window
ladders poking through the Jasmine
wet with dew and rain
some green leaves on the branch tips
a sprawling grappling array
that rises and dips
and gets tangled
All gardens must adapt
to the sand and cement thats flying
and all the brick dust trapped
