Baskets of lavender [138]

Baskets of lavender

Lori hums,
singing harmony to Montana's melody
as she moves from fragrant clump to clump,
baskets of lavender
filling up.

Her Harley's
ready and leather beckons for a jaunt to town,
fragrant flowers will not sell themselves,
baskets of lavender
now filled up.

Bundles wrapped,
she flings stray hairs away from eyes and wrinkles, as
she grabs her helmet, checks to make sure
her fresh-cut lavender's
securely tucked.

Time enough
at market to sort it out where she'll see her friends,
chat awhile and return home lighter,
bouquets of lavender
all sold out.
