Farm Morning







Walk in dew-soaked grass to the hen house.
Lift the door latch.
Chickens come squeaking
Out to catch bugs in the morning shade.
I chose a place in the sun,
On the stump by the water pump.
A smell of fresh turned earth
And freshly mown grass meets me.
I stop to break stalks of asparagus. 
Creamed soup for supper.
