in the shelter of a greenhouse
rain came heavy
work came heavy
continous
deafening
a deluge
relieved of my duty
to think of another thing to say
to keep the conversation going
This morning
I found myself in the company
of good men
a beekeeper
a maintenance man
a builder
a hunter
a cattle rancher
a sheet metal worker
and a farmer
we worked together to rebuild
a neighbor's hoophouse that had been damaged
during the winter
it felt similar to what I've read
of an old-fashioned barn raising
there was talk of
the seasons crops
weather
construction methods
and changing times
when I get home
I sleep better
than I have in weeks
