A context of templates,
Writhing between the palms of weariness,
toiling in soil
with water
and grains of mite,
Weaving in the chenille of crops.
He weathered;
He stood the sun,
Planting the steel of nerves on the
uncemented wall...
He stood the time --
but this time,
he planted the seed,
and the brambles cemented his humble abode.
