Cupboard Leaking into Bucket


Last night it rained so hard the bucket could not hold,
Although you know it has a minor crack and I am 

reminded of the fable of the woman in the house 
who could not comprehend how hard she worked and how 

she never really got anywhere, not anywhere at all. 
Carting dumping carting dumping carting

all her worries, all her thoughts from one cupped
history fist to those of her daughters and sons. And 

the fish they caught? Not so many. Slippery the
cement. Though they trawled the edges of the pond.
