Clear the yard of blowing bits of plastic. The glory in the doing. The breath of the doing. Sometimes the simplest move kept fear from fragmenting into no energy at all, a fine poem.. thank u. tony

'the simplest move kept fear from fragmenting' resonated with the aloneness. I liked the rhythm of the lines working with the mundane tasks and leading to the last lines. Thanks for the journey. Adrian
