Learning

There is nothing wrong
in taking rest
after a lifetime of work.

I have come up from the mines
and am getting used
to the air and the weather.

There is nothing wrong
in taking rest
after a lifetime of work.

I am untethering, removing
the yoke, blinking
in the sun.  Take heart,
keep hope.  I learn.
