Ox Cart Man   by Donald Hall    In October of the year,    he counts potatoes dug from the brown field,    counting the seed, counting    the cellar's portion out,    and bags the rest on the cart's floor.    He packs wool sheared in April, honey    in combs, linen, leather    tanned from deerhide,    and vinegar in a barrel    hoped by hand at the forge's fire.    He walks by his ox's head, ten days    to Portsmouth Market, and sells potatoes,    and the bag that carried potatoes,    flaxseed, birch brooms, maple sugar, goose    feathers, yarn.    When the cart is empty he sells the cart.    When the cart is sold he sells the ox,    harness and yoke, and walks    home, his pockets heavy    with the year's coin for salt and taxes,    and at home by fire's light in November cold    stitches new harness    for next year's ox in the barn,    and carves the yoke, and saws planks    building the cart again
