Stone Fence by Rob LittlerNot that I could
not appreciate this
moment as a younger man,
only now, arriving
home, looking
at each stone placed
so carefully
by a hand long since gone
I saw the ghost of him,
the apparition of his movement—
selecting, positioning—
and I too sat back satisfied,
as he must have, with a deep
sense of accomplishment.
