I am participating in the August Poetry Postcard Challenge this month. Each day, I send a new postcard with a poem on the back to a recipient on the group list. We began on July 27, but I am posting these a few days late, so that my pen pal can see them first. Enjoy!
On Working
Somewhere there is satisfaction
for something other than the close
of another interminable day. There is
the sweat we carry in our skin, the stench
of our effort. There is the heft
of the body, the tug of the line, the waking
from an hour long nap, only to find
that you hooked
a many toothed monster and he
is never getting away.
