Found Poem

Lead

the lean horse
to the sea.
He needs to eat.
Peat yields heat.

The dead cause deep grief.
Seek the thief.
My deaf friend and guest is
dead.

I had health
and wealth.
Death cut this thread of life.

Learn
to work. Earn
that rare urn.
Search the earth
and the world for her.

Burn burch wood.
A cur hurt a bird.
Worms turn and curl in the dirt.

Shy birds fly
high in the sky.
A dry sty.

At night a lynx
ran by our door.
Plow, toil.
Joy in soil.
