by Gary Snyder
The years seem to tumble
faster and faster
I work harder
the boys get larger
planting apple and cherry.
In summer barefoot,
in winter rubber boots.
Little boys bodies
soft bellies, tiny nipples,
dirty hands
New grass coming
through oakleaf and pine needle
we'll plant a few more trees
and watch the night sky turn.
