The night was as sleepless as the night before
the chickens cluck and flutter
about the hen coyotes and their pups shiver and come out
of their den
and no one else can be such as I, from the day
long chores, sore.
An early day begins with the collection of eggs and the
milking of cows los hijos watch the horses and the goats in
the field but I really need help with these flowers.
The day only gets hotter and hotter, too hot for chores but they aren’t going to finish
themselves and
the baby is crying but I really need help with these
flowers .
The grass is all scorched and the abuelo is porched that is his favorite spot, black
coffee in hand but
I really need help with these flowers.
A wedding to be had on the eve of tomorrow here at the ranch in the field by the
barn there are no decorations or food or people
But I really need help with
these flowers.
The midday sun is beaming down making sure there is no water
in my body I look over to see los hijos
sitting under the apple tree But I still need help with these
flowers
There are about 104 flowers in this bundle I only have two hands the whole family is lounging about
the ranch
But I really need help with my wedding
lol sorry for the weird formatting don't know why it looks like that
