Heave up a brick and slap on the mortar
I am building a life.
Covered in mud the first brick layers
used clay and sticks.
A sloppy undertaking
but the results came anyways.
The Egyptian pyramids weren't built in a day
and the road to Rome is paved with good intentions.
Never the mind.
I have long eyelashes and old galoshes
I will wade through the ponds.
Sending a baby in the reeds
for good measure.
