last gulp of coffee
 
before I head to the yard
 
for gut-busting work

Nap

 
 
 

first nap of summer—
 
a migrant fresh out of work
 
dreams of picking corn

Work

 
 
 

So much work to do—
 
even the wrens feel pressured
 
to build their new nest.

Holiday

 
 
 

first month of the year
 
two servants on holiday
 
dreaming of their work
