Nope, hardly exaggerated to say I was
less than engrossed and made it show
chainsawing firewood off of felled trees -
a fire might get me going again if the chill
sets in like it did a week ago. Great to sit
in a circle of warmth again, drink in hand,
sipping, sinking into an appreciation of a
grand fellowship, of a time and place
made generosity a wood gathering; we’d
lain abed until late; of seniors its a treat
to not rise early, be considered needy or
give way to bodily management crises -
far cry from yesteryear’s imaginings
as old as our histories yet we made new
discoveries about who we really are and
why the fire focuses energy - so I’m slow
off the blocks but gradually warming; she
has seen in me an agreeable discovery
