Sub Rosa
As I, under
Rose shadow,
Worked my ass
Off years ago,
Old foundations
Crumbled --oh, we
Mumble explanations:
Surely age and weather
Exact a toll together
On farmhouses
And fools --a new
Physique, more
Room back there
For tools
Memories...
ReplyDeleteMemories of hard work, of deteriorated farmhouses by age and weather, and..of the back tools' room.
Tools are for the worker the soul for a meaningful life.
Good photo of the worker's back under the rose shadow!
Thanks, DUTA! Photo is from a few years ago when I prepared wiring and plumbing for a new hot water tank.
Delete"more/ Room back there/ For tools" made me smile, Geo. Just be careful that the leaner physique plus the increased tool load doesn't make the jeans fall down!
ReplyDeleteO_Jenny, I wish you'd warned me earlier!
