in the morning

you measure
a length of wood,
marking
it with a pencil
where the cut
should be.
slowly you move
the saw
against the soft
smooth
plane of the board,
letting
the dust snow
down onto the floor.
all day
you measure mark
and cut,
the blade of the saw
getting hot,
while the hammer
and nails
wait patiently
nearby
for their turn.
