I like it when you go out
and look at things and think

I like when you stride
in your boots with your scythe
and slice the grass down

I like you on the land,
for the two of you
bring out the life in each other

Plans calm, and the breath of the moment
knits you to each other –
you rise and rest
in each other’s care.
