moved so much wood today
for the backyard fireplace
probably an entire old fence
and a pile big enough to fill
a small dump truck
one wheelbarrow at a time
it was an old one
that my grandfather used to use
big metal wheel served it's purpose well
moved around a lot on days put aside
for rest and finally made it to the ocean
watched it move right to my feet
and then moved on took another drive
back and forth as I often do and some
will still reach out but very few still do
just being honest and even ones who shared
the same space sometime ago
nothing I did or didn't do just the way it is
everyone has their own ride to ride
time goes on and on with or without
any contact back here in the garden
as the sun sets on another weekend
of work no matter been doing it
long enough now to get through
to another orange sky sunset
off beyond eye reach the scent in the air
is fresh and clean beautifully grown and green
a dragon in the garden like a sponge
getting every drop of this night...
