Open after the city cools
Come when the palms go black against the sky.
Palm, arid, alpine, fernery. We open at dusk because some flowers refuse the afternoon.

The seed room is not a gift shop
Packets from the houses. A few we did not grow. Nothing with a cartoon vegetable.

Heat holds. Smell changes. The palms go black against the last sky.

Handwritten labels, on purpose
A printed tag is a claim. A pencil is a conversation with the last keeper.
