DMC: "Wheelbarrow tracks" by Jone Rush MacCulloch
Wheelbarrow tracks
crisscross
the soft, garden mud.
Having rained
three nights ago
the dirt
is like modeling clay.
Straight, simple
lines
obtuse, acute, right angles
father would be
proud
geometry in the soil
Wheelbarrow tracks
parallel lines
in which I compose a ditty.
