Mechanical Lessons

God damn
The mower just refuses to be fixed 
I wanted light, setting sun, peace, rapprochement
Weeded gardens and weeds trimmed, all
To arrive tonight by my dint

Not so

But out there his peach teeshirt
Recedes toward the back plot
Waiting for vegetables in
This weather crap that we've messed up,
Thoughtless humans.

I'll not dwell on the meta
I'll just try to keep the beauty 
Of this tiny micro-bit up here in mind

Peach
Out there
Peeking through
The back spruce
We need the spruce
To keep out the dust
When Bobby ploughs. 

His teeshirt 
Out there 
Fades like magic into 
The sky hiding behind
Spruces, and I know that is 
The sunset
But hadn't seen how we blend and fade into 
The ethos, this beautiful 
Gaia. 

It is orange 
Behind blue
Spruce
And this light
This air
This breathing 
This unearthly panorama
Saves us,
Nurturing us 
As we extinguish 
The old. 

And meanwhile in 
The wind bringing in the front
We grow young
On this cusp of 
We are.
