So, this is the title poem from Evelina Rudan's poetry collection, available to read for free online through Bloesk ...
Read the whole thing here.
a convincing garden
through the main entrance, down the hallway
to the backdoor leading to
the garden
a very convincing garden
one can visit any time
usually you won’t find me there
usually you won’t find anybody there
(but you can always leave a message on the answering machine
or write a note)
you can sit on the bench beneath the window
eat without compulsion
and gaze
from the same bench
having a splendid view of the garden
garden resembling the atrium of the Franciscan monastery
(imaginably at Trsat where people confess at the Feast of the Assumption)
but this garden is a particularly vibrating one
plants having their special beat
at any time of day and night
pulsating with calm vigour and discreet energy
only ivy being more restless and fernery less fluttery
but not making the garden
less convincing
