title: My Ax
date: November 28, 2013
A purpose of the ax, sliding against long sticks of cedar,
before making the fire, edge blunted that tasted concrete clumsiness.
Idle file in the toolbox knows steel and sharpness,
strongly grooved, confident.
Seldom they meet, until a bird needs readied for the table,
then compassion is in the sound of their embrace.
