Poetry – Kristie Weibling

I imagine that Williams sees a glossy, wet red wheelbarrow gradually being filled with water as the sky drizzles, and chickens wandering nearby. The use of the word “glazed” to describe the wheelbarrow and “white” to describe the chickens–despite the rain–has me thinking he sees the image in a positive light. I think he appreciates the significance of the resources available to him.

So much depends
upon

a family’s
support

apart for
now

still laughing and talking
every day
