Our Hands

(triolet)

 

We mined the earth for gold that spring;
our hands were shaped by rock and clay
and the fading band of your missing ring.
We mined the earth for gold that spring
with sapling and spade to avert decay.
To ward off the changes that autumn would bring
we mined the earth for gold that spring,
but our hands were shaped by rock and clay.
