So

Much

Depends upon

A chainsaw, a pole,

Toes flexing inside boots,

Ladder bending against tree.

Limb frozen, fighting the cut

Rope tossed, knots tied, human

Limbs now ripping off tree's.

The watermelon___________ crack

Of wood loosing_________ wood.

It gives one last___________ thud.

We drag it to a______________ pile

Of other missives____________torn

From their bodies.___________ Our

Backyard opens a____________door

For the shed so much depends upon.
