mondays and
tuesdays
are days off here at
the
Winternship but Sarah
is
on
a mission and i'm here
to help her so we spent
the
afternoon cutting
and pruning saplings
and fallen limbs to gather wood for
pole frame
experiments. it was
a sure enough nice day, sun
shining
through winter trees, we shucked
our hats and gloves, warmed by our
exertions.
we tested the ice
at swamp's
edge, not quite there yet
but far more than last
week,
frozen
oak leaves overlapping
and
interlocking like puzzle
pieces.
i spent some time trying to free
an old tree from strangling bittersweet
vines, but who's to say which is in
the right? as i cut, i apologized.
this is my first time in michigan
and part of me is seeing it through
hemingway's eyes--all those stories
of rivers and forests, fishing, fights,
and a
certain quality of light.
