Layin' Pipe

Large hands, coarse, are prayin’ Another day, layin’ Yet again! The pipe grows Into the dark it flows Neath the underground, toil! Pushing dank sod till soiled Into the lightless folds Plundering till all’s cold Ever thus, life unfolds… (9/12/21)

There's a real timeless quality to the pipe layer's labor. In such toil there is an under appreciated achievement. A fine write! Brian
