the wealth of work

it's good to be tired.

to have your body ache with the pain
of work.

your hands cramping, your legs
heavy.
the day is done.

the dust is off.
the boots are in the closet.

gloves
in the trunk.

it's good to be tired.
a week
gone by.

a drink in hand. a meal in front
of you.

no drama, no trouble, nothing
unplanned.

it's good to be tired.

not rich, not poor, but wealthy
in the fact
of

having a job well done.
