Few Words

I See You’ve Learned
by Olav H. Hauge, from The Dream We Carry 

The Dream We Carry I like
how you
use
few words,
few words and
short sentences
that drift
in a fine rain
down the page
with light and air
between.
I see you've learned
to make
a woodpile in the forest,
good to stack it
tall
so it can dry;
build one too long and low,
the wood will just sit there and rot.
