Not tidied from the day before Your tools rest in the dust sprinkled light Among shavings That have been hammered through the years. Slithers of work unseen. Things I never quite knew. Nothing fits together. The uneven shapes of pungent metal And wood cracked dry Sprawl around Among the guesses made. And ancient contraptions Of unfathomable use Sit neglected Beside old hanging baskets And watering cans Prematurely dry. Tomorrow you will continue Like before, filing away Behind the sun-darkened door Before stepping out into the glaring light And locking the door firmly shut. Hanging the rusty key Out of reach. But this is a mystery I am determined to solve And I will find a way To polish deeply Until the copper shines bright.
