cold, wind catching my breath
ache down in my lungs
with each bite
of the shovel, the blade
ice, the snow giving
relenting to my effort
clearing the walk
opening the way
one bite at a time

Dig out the hydrants – v2
February 6, 2009
Dig out the hydrants
on shoveling out our church’s roadside sign,
comparing the need for these spiritual “hydrants”
with the fire hydrants so often shoveled out by
volunteers.
The fire here is the coarseness of the world.
