Do You...
Darling
Floating in this soup of chalk
Nodules diamond hard
Await the knappers strong
Warm grasp.
His judging eye,
Knowing,
Measures each potatoe tuber
For size,
And weight,
And unseen texture.
His deft swung wrist
Brings sharp retort
And lightning flash
At parting fault.
The glass like sliver
With razors edge,
Glints sunshine bright
On yielding sedge.
And still the swinging arm
A blinding blurr
To shape a sawtooth blade,
Or curving cutting edge,
Or scraper to hone
The skin from bone.
This friend of wife,
This surgeons knife.
Defender of our very life.
