This kind of home

The evening air is sweet-
scent of raked weeds
and walking on the land,
carrying water

Ravens and robins and blackbirds
fill the gloaming with their joy

This is better than comfort –
The warmth through working,
the togetherness that stretches out wide,
and these birds, this land, this sky.
