We put on our boots, grabbed machetes
took to the woods to find a spot
for a barndominium
bushwhacked through dense thickets
(probably have ticks)
he found the creek
I watched for
birds to
show
where
because
feathered friends
always know best
where to build a nest
to feel safe and secure
free as a gentle breeze
to come and go as we please
to have the whole world at our feet
in a downsized home, simple and neat
