no grass to cut. no trimming
of hedges.
no weed to pull.
no painting the wood
around
the windows, the doors.
the iron rail
i hold onto when climbing
steps.
winter is easy.
we have six jars honey.
we have
pickles and beets.
we have meat in the ice box.
flour for bread.
we have water, heat.
there is no need
to go out into white cold
days. no need to
turn our faces red in the wind.
no need to shovel
and press onward to the post
office
or grocer.
we have wood for the fire.
we have books.
we have drink.
we have each other, our wealth
is beyond measure.
