Wire

Someone cut the wires to our back pasture

Some time ago, probably

The electric fence to keep the

Goats from marauding in my

Garden was out,

And there they were this frigid

Morning,

When I woke up and checked out the

Back pasture from

Our bedroom window

There they were,

Having at the smoke bush

And when he went out, then, this morning,

Grousing at me, and crabby

He stayed out for a very long time

And I actually started to worry.

Soon enough, before

I would have gone to look for him

He came through the paddock from the pasture

Swinging the brush saw.

But all he did was fix the fence.

Someone else cut the fence wires to the back pasture.
