Grasscutter
He mows the hillside,
Left to right. Right to left.
Switchbacks the overgown terrace.
Familiar terrain, the grasscutter
maneuvers caressing
the seductive landscape…
the ridges and hollows
until reaching the edges.
Unfamiliar borders require patience
and he is more careful trimming.
Reaching the bottom, he looks back,
satisfied at his maintained earth.
Understanding the topography
Reaching the bottom, he looks back,
satisfied at his maintained earth.
Understanding the topography
eases life.
