my constant companions of yesteryear
provided me healing to body, mind
and my soul – transforming also land
the hoe, the rake, and the wheelbarrow
those simple tools with greater output
fed bigger mouths, with larger bellies
grounding me on the very real ground
the hoe, the rake, and the wheelbarrow
pen and pencil of the humble poor
writing on pages of mother earth
for me, the scholar to read, to live well
