Arthritic Hands

 

A white-haired man, his arthritic

hands holding a watering can,

faces a grave, where

he’s planted a dozen petunias.

“She loved the pink ones,” he thinks,

bends slowly on painful

knees, presses the soil around a plant.

He stands unsteadily, leans against the fence,

sighs, then faces the gate, takes a step,

turns to look back, blows

a kiss, and carries his watering can

to the car.
