Had some time to paint outdoors today but under the cover of the porch as it rained for quite some time. A view just off the back porch where I sweep my shavings from working on woodworking projects. I didn't realize this until now but the concrete block shown I have sitting there has sunk over time and sort of inspired the poem below.
Weight of Things
by Randall Cogburn
A Sawyer cuts
With the weight
Yet forces none
Such trouble
As it's done.
Over to plane
The old way
Less prone to break
Yet no mistake
And top pay.
Now in rhythm
The shavings fall
A familiar sound
So sharp
but flat.
A Clean breeze
Few sweeps
Before an hour
All done. Scribbled:
Play with Cat.
