Someone Said There’s
an Election Going Around
In
much work there shall be abundance: but where there are many words, there is
oftentimes want.
-Proverbs 14:23
This
autumn morning I have a fence to mend
Fence.
As in fence. Concrete footings, wooden planks
The
rotten bits to be cut out and replaced
No
metaphors will be harmed in this repair
Later
I will harvest the last of the sunflowers
Drooping
now in the fullness of life’s end
No
longer following the sun, only the earth
Soon
to be seeds for the winter squirrels and birds
Someone
said there’s an election going around
Fine,
fine, but the grapevines need pruning down
