ACCOUNT OF MY DAYS

SURVEYOR'S DREAM
to keep all the directions
in your pocket
to read them in your palm
and sight along the line of trespass
to examine all of this in a mirror
and then decide
to have a lazy man's heart
and feel fallen on by snow
fallen on by wind
to find your footsteps again
by the winter creek
navigating by squirrel nests
to the original monuments
establish the beginning
of the deviation from polaris
to find the order of attention
the order of evidence for boundaries
by averaging errors
to have a directed heart
