Bricks

They were out there
beyond recollection or attention
Two bodies cold, one shivering,
under a moonless blanket
of pin-holed blackness
One painstakingly laying bricks
Evidently hesitant, but composed
The other, tireless,
determinedly separating
hardened clay from grit and mortar
Casting the blocks aside
and raising his field of view
at a rate proportional
to the rising pile of rubble
