Crisp is the cut that separates leaf from flower. Cold is the morning mist that runs in rivets around her toes. Yet still, Ira emerges before the first breath of dawn. Her hanging frame of garden flowers is the only sight of something more than grey on the entire street. Even so, when the winter winds whip too harshly or the summers swell too devilishly, they decay into the same state of the world of their caretaker. But never shall Ira allow her frame to be barren.
By sunrise, the chicken has been fed, the petal oils have been collected, and the typical batch of water with some oats stews on the stove top. Ira's Mother gets to sewing while her Father leaves for the mines with Ira shortly behind him. Alas, she never strays far from the Seam anymore. Perhaps it's the flowers she carries that anchors her to the asphalt. Yet by mid-morning they are gone, a singular stem settled onto a porch. One flower for every lost life, a promise of memory for those who seem like they never exist. A gift from a girl with a garden she can't let die along with them.
