WARMING FIRE

Posted on December 24, 2023 by | 3 comments

 

Warm-up cutting it.

Get warm stacking it.

Stay warm carrying it

            into the house.

And once more, when

you haul the ashes out.

NOVEMBER 2020

One more cigarette
for the young dog
to piss and poop,
 
to explore the garden,
check-out the squirrel holes
before I load her up.
 
One more cigarette
to let the split oak set
before I stack it.
 
One more cigarette
and a cup of old coffee
to inhale November.
