the soothing scent of mowing lawn back strain from lifting & hauling concrete stepping blocks storing another direction. wakeful night of dreams crowding saying things I forget. labour betrays the promise of a tired body assisting sleep fifteen milligrams paid in full moisture in a drought the rain holds off a little longer despite various warnings ringing something sounding unlike bells white noise turns the colour of alarm it's all alright the mantra some magic the mantra some magic chopping rocks it only takes that chain gang number not behind bars blackbirds squawk amongst seeds of grass gathered symbols or innocent bystanders white friends fly proud with the span of their wings catching the flow. trip on a stone the smallest pebble snagging a shoe lace caught beneath hesitant step. hussle to train with luggage heaving straining the zip, can never hold back a time to be quiet & rearrange words the lessons we hear tuning into the night wheels roll back home some more washing up
