BOUNDARIES

The leafy boundaries
by the river beds
alongside stray boxes
had a large number
of red strawberries left
on the dead end
country road
for the poor family
next door to the poet
who deposits them over
with a potpourri
of fresh sour cream
to his farm neighbor
as God reveals to him
to bring it
in a gracious dish
of strong horse radish,
which cures and heals
all that would disarm
or harm us
during the winter days
and this family
knows when it wins its cause
better than any pill
to be purchased at
the local drugstore
for with these vitamins
in the plant horseradish cup
has within it the Lord's skill
more of  out respect
for survival
to perfect and restore
as the farm family looked up
and surely lived on
because the poet's arrival.
