The Water Pump
July 16, 2010
Planted in the ground a lifetime ago,
it holds more life than a tree’s branches of a century’s age
and from it flows fables;
All you have to do is pull the lever there
Once with such ease would that lever rise to release stories
for hands stained with orange soil
Do you hear now how it shrieks with resistance,
much like a tree being dug up by the roots,
as polished fingers tempt it to tell its tales?
