mask, without gesture:
flat life-less stare; panting ‘n
begging brings dog there!

Riddle #29 Rake

The old saying for plain, direct speech is “tell it in words of one syllable.” Robert Pinsky
Try not using any forms of the verb: to be.

I rake
to make
the ground flat.
Reach and pull;
push and pat.
Cold
knee work:
bend and
stretch-take
with my rake.
