ready to serve
The main farm track broke down two hundred feet
and bent
levels to equal a quarter mile on its knees of
landslip terrace.
Grades shifted steep before the incline relief
at Middle Flat,
but then, between there and the much-worked
Bottom Flat,
the Big Hill dived centre-earthward under a
vertigo of trees,
so steep the willing Fergie, driven to tow up
3 ton of spuds
in season, used to mount up, with us at
the head, to
brake-steer on two back wheels like a ram
ready to serve.
