堂   兄



               三条牛的牧场
               瓦屋兀自站成地标
               日子在半山腰打个饱嗝
               唤醒皱纹里的黄昏
               路很深邃
               丈量每一次匀称的呼吸
               山风沐浴回眸的树
               抚慰鸡鸭鹅狗
               象抚慰墙角的瓜苗
               笑意盎然


               因为生存      劳动
               捅破土地的软肋
               种植果园
               前半生病靥悄然流走
               来时儿歌
               去时沉甸甸的牧歌


               池塘没有栅栏
               鱼儿好兴致
               握手自由湛蓝的天空
