Bounty

Bounty 
by Susan Whelan

The tossed salad

at our Soup Kitchen starts

with lettuce from the Community

Garden, planted by a Roma family waiting

to hear their refugee status, tended by 70 year old

David, who grew up on a kibbutz, harvested by the Sixth

Grade class from down the street, washed by Mrs. Singh,

recovering from a brain injury, dressed by Kaliyah,

a Med student who comes when she’s got a free

hour, shared by a family of the working poor

who swallowed their pride to come here

for the first time. They offer thanks

and ask about the garden.

And so it grows.
