I really like this Erik. Great couplets. Love the image of fixing the bending orchard limbs and what that seems to entail, the abandoned quail, the turtle simile and the bleak image at the close. He will go on, and the bleakness of his onward-going is shown in series of vivid images without being overstated. And the move to winter leaves open a hint of a possible of an eventual spring-time to follow. I think this is my favourite poem of yours -- of those that I've read at least.

best,

Matt
