Moving Rhododendrons

Even as we struggled
To keep the wheelbarrow upright


To breathe in the sunlight
That is the thing


Even this cold steel shoveling
On Red Dog's north flank


To be suddenly dumbstruck
Looking up the green/gold column


Of ten thousand pine-needles
Ablaze with golden sunlight


-That is the thing.
