Eagle Pond Farm Market

For David Giannini

Before snow on your grave,
your life work was on the market.

Yankee thrift, the force that drives
your generations.

Your spirit called in a chit, so
your friends bought the place –

Lock, stock, and barrell,
Ox Cart and Glenwood stove.

Your chapter cycles seasons amid
the dead calm of Mt. Kearsarge.

– Dave Read
