A grit lined wheelbarrow

'so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.' William Carlos Williams 


A whole house depends on three wheels
on a rusty wheel barrow, lined in grit, 
glove-fitted for the launch of  the season
settling beside a wrinkled, ever green tree


 but much more depends on the aged olive, 
rooted since the begging of time
placing platefuls on the makeshift box turned table.
