#686 shovelling in january

surrounded by the snow
piled along both sides of his driveway
the man stops, stretches, leans on the shovel
nothing a man does or does not do
is unrelated to his father
his eyes climb to the stars for a moment, to the great bear
he tamps the shovel, twice
and returns to the task
