“As a poet, I love landscaping for the names of the plants on my tongue as I learn about them: Sphaeralcea coccinea, or Scarlet Globemallow (colloquially known as Cowboy’s Delight though Indigenous people took delight in them long before that archetype entered the scene). But I’m here for the dirt. For the furred sickles of blue grama catching the golden glow, the smell of Agastache rupestris. For the presence I experience in my body. For the space this makes possible for us all.”
