Jon, I loved the earthy feeling of this writing, my father was a coal miner, never did he search for gold, but I know what a life he lived working underground day after day. Sad, go to work when it was dark and return at dark - one big circle. I loved, "Joy in my cup, I'll use,em both up. His was sneaking a cigarette when he could - "Outside" the mine. I truly enjoyed this.
I like this poem, Jon, and the way you make it move through
the heat and weary life of the mining man whose only joy is
in a cup. Excellent. -gene.

”gold in my pouch joy in my cup I'll use 'em both up ”...this is a great line Jon, it captures the spirit of this life style...I especially like the use of the phrase “joy in my cup” and the prophecy “I'll use 'em both up” . The pairing of these two makes for one very powerful statement...again Jon great write

My younger brother prospects those parts for more than gold, ancient Indian artifacts.
