completes the back of the house
what a fine idea of yours to leave it
until last, so easy to climb
in & out, birds & wild animals
along with girls & boys, gash of fresh
air, natural light, the random factors
keep the job from becoming stale
different takes on the unexpected
occur & recur, a hailstorm’s
droppings, the bleaching out, shadow
mixing, nettles & claws
also the circle of chairs the PTA
placed along the driveway
that anyone might sit & watch
all year for discarded trimmings
three bent nails, a sawdust mound
hence analysis won’t be required
everyone already knows
a red clay doorstep is what you want
