"Broken Knife"


“Broken Knife”

7/29/16

Taking a railway spike
working in heat hammered
carefully slowly creatively
using skills yet unlearned
while applying those learned
spending hours in the heat
trying to make few errors
soon to be was a knife
but as in all of our lives
not always as we’d want
too much heat or too little
broke the blade today
never a failure in learning
once more to try again
adding experiences as one
taking a railway spike!
