bent, and warped,
the long handle smooth
with
use,
the weather of the shed.
the bristled
spokes
now crusted
red.
how many times did she
drag
it across this yard
in quiet contemplation,
gathering leaves
fallen.
the weeds cut, piling
them
to be carried to the woods
outside
the fence.
was she in love then?
