after early morning
church, you'll find
the oldman in his yard,
bent
over
raking, spreading
mulch.
digging weeds.
the neighbor
and his wife are gone
now.
they went south.
a new family will arrive
soon
to introduce themselves.
maybe his
children
will stop by, his ex wife,
to see how
he's getting along.
bring him clothes
and cakes, help
him charge his phone.
he wonders
as he rests in the sun,
sitting on the steps,
what the point was
in all of this.
what was it all about?
