I've been a construction worker 
My entire adult 
Life. 

Still, I cannot 
Seem to rebuild 
Her confidence. 

I've been a poet for 
As long as I can 
Remember, 

But my encouraging 
Hollow-point-words shatter 
Against her insecure kevlar. 

Suppose all I can be is 
Sunlight, water and 
Soil. 

I'll try that; I've been a 
Farmer's boy since 
Birth.
