Shakes

No wind. Just episodic shakes
of air released by a robin.
Right beside me. We left a whole week
of walking between blocks of flats behind us.

Up and down the street several times a day.
People still have their own gardens.
They take good care of them if they're not too busy.
Vegetable plots full of spinach

that nobody cooks.
