Replying to a comment on:

Surveyor and Farmer (Free verse) by Dovina

He hikes all day in hardwoods, transit on his shoulder, steel tape dragging long. I trudge alone in corn, sack upon my hip, plucking ears like days before. His weariness from thinking, packing, sweat, mine from picking, shooking, heat. Eyes closed, half asleep. Small squeeze, a swell. Four eyelids open, four lip corners rise. Til next time, sleep well.

Yes they are, and a secret encounter after an exhausting day at work is especially nice. Thanks for the comment.
