Basil can be an entire forest. What is the equivalent in poetry?

Someone commenting on the fresh basil in the salad along with tomatoes and the surprise of beets.
A stranger buying 2 of your poetry books.
And always the ripe is to the good.

    The first detour, always the most disorienting
    She picked the small flowers by the doorways
    bouquets for those who she could not touch
    and those she once had loved

    One garden was sparkling, just watered down
    like a hot and dusty animal
    She wanted to ask how and why
    the earth could yield so many different results
