INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE HOUSESITTER
If the door has blown closed, open it.
You do not need a key.
Feed the birds.
There is seed in the blue jar.
Pick the apples, eat the cherries.
Make wine from the grapes.
Do not eat the yellow pears
for they are bitter.
The garden is full
of deep green weeds.
Cook them in oil.
They will make you strong.
When dew shines on the leaves
go out and wet your feet.
The copper basin holds rainwater
to wash your hair.
Milk the goats
at sunrise and sunset.
Drink what you like
and make the cheese.
The dogs will kiss
you awake.
The cats will sing
you to sleep.
They will tell you
what they wish to eat.
They will tell you
what to dream.
At midnight,
the owls will come.
The great gray owl
will speak. Listen.

Just about to do house sitting, go over the proofs of my poetry book and follow, selectively, your guidelines here. Loved it. Posted to FB for you.
