Doubts at Daybreak Cutting Wood<br />

I wake at 3:30AM with failing eyesight<br />

the birds not ‘till 5 but sharp-eyed.<br />

Sharp-eyed in the breaking light<br />

failed sight in the dark before dawn.<br />

They thrive, swallow tiny things that feed birds.<br />

I cannot see my way past the Monsoon<br />

lightning flash to Oak cordwood stacked.<br />

I cannot strive to cut and double-bit<br />

axe-split what warms my winters.<br />

All that I have not swallowed.<br />

Civility + You<br />
