Moon Gardener

This poem is my first attempt at writing Sijo, a form of Korean poetry. It celebrates my rekindled love for the garden.

Moon Gardener
As the sun set, I remembered to forget your touch upon my skin,
Shutting out the sand-papery, earthy roughness that made me smile.
The moon rose; I planted a seed. Again, I feel you against my skin.
