Spanish farmers
reposition stones in a riverbed
redirecting the flow
aiding the river
mindful of storm or drought
so that in those events
their village will never be without.

Every day
repositioning
each day
listening
to the work that needs to be done
following the water
clearing out
what prevents the flow of life
traveling down its intended -
unblock the distended -
path.

Every day
someone
