Field
the days are shorter now
and go so quick from the mind.
how i drink my cup of coffee
and swallow not even knowing
the fire of the dark brown liquid or
the icy coldness, only
that the sun is still out.
and i must work. and how my day
sometimes is a newspaper
three weeks old, yellowing,
and comfort is found with a new match
or a lit candle. oh, the constancy
of work like a star or a mountain
and in me is a volcano that wants
to do something to break the inertia
but all i can do is pull up weeds.
move dust. scare away
a crow
or two.
