: carefuly he works his way from one side to the other.. leaving a small line of dust and a streach of swept wood.. then reverses his grip and stance and and starting back the other directiion. carefuly to always place his feet.. that in spite of the careful ministration and appicatiion of the grass broom. now have a light coating of dust.. on top of the sun tanned skin.. in the unswept area. the task is simple.. but still he brings his devotion to it. his love of excating details.. when he reaches the dome.. he starts sweeping down one side of it.. leaving the other side till later

: : by the time that he is half way down the side of the porch.. he has to scoop up some of the dust with his massive hands..and takes around and to the other side of the porch.. knowing that the barely moving air. puts that down wind.. leaning out as far as he can, opening his hand, and letting it dribble thu the heavy fingers. and float down to the ground.. so far below. tinting the green grass as it comes to rest upon the long blades.. going back and sweeping down that side of the porch till..he has brought the somewhat straggling line of dirt to the front of the dome.. then going back and doing the side that he left till later..bringing that line dust to the front.. glad that there is not enought if a breeze.. to stir the air..stepping into the entrace way and reaching in with the boom.. careful to not even let his shadow.. now darkly cast by the sun that as passed the top of it's arching journey. fall inside of Her dome he sweeps that out as well..

: he keeps on sweeping till he gets to the steps. then goes down in the same side that he came up on..going and getting the heated kettle of water.. bring it back and letting it cool a bit. moving down wind to shake out the broom.. before going back up and sweeping the dust unto the steps.. moving backwards down them.. some of the swept dust finding its way to fall.. down the back of the steps.. once he has it cleaned.. he takes a thick rep and reaching up places it on the porch.. then lifts the kettle up nad pust it on the rep.. hoping that the cloth will protect the deck from any damage that the heated bottom of the kettle might cause to the deck .. then putting the rest of what he has brought up.. the kettle is still a little hot. so he goes to fetch a pail of water.letting it cool a bit.

: .sitting on the ground he uses the rags that he used before to clean off his feet..dampened with a bit if the water that he has brought letting the sun and hot air dry them before schooihng over the steps and getting up on them. he did not want dirty and dungy feet to get on the freshly swept wood..turning around in a tight circle and brining the fresh water up with him. mounting the steps . as usaual only on the steps left sides

: puts the leather bucket of cool water down. and picks up the black iron pot.. then grabs the thick towel..taking both to the far end of the wagon. puttiing the pot down on the towel and going back to get the rest of the items that he will need.. setting them up and kneeling on the ebon colored wood.. the sun very hot on his almost bald head.. he takes.. from a stained, leather, drawstring pouch.. a bit of soap suds.. and sprinkles the flakes onto the wood.. dipping the scrub brush. bone carved handle and with red colored tarsk bistles into the hot.. HOT! water. and starting to use it two handed to scrub the porch .

: using both hands and rocking in a back and forth motion..the collar swaying in a counterpoint to his motions.. taping on the strong chin.. he scrubs out an area. as hard as he can readily reach. and then sets the brush aside.. getting some of the clean rags that he had brought, and dipping them in the water of the leather bucket.. usning that to wipe up the tiny trails of suds. each that swirls with a rainbows of prismatic colors.. dipping the rags back in and applying them anew.. getting a happy feeling of accomplishment as the claen wood is exposed. hoping that the Mistress that ordered this task will be pleased as well .

: he gets up and and wipes a sweat shining brow with the back of a forearm.. moving on down.. his percise and almost miserley mind. estimating now many spots will need to be scrubbed. before he can move on backwards.. dipping the brush into the water again. flirting with the idea of mixing in some of the cooler water. cause it is soooo hot.. rejecting the idea at once for what it is. . this gift of trust. is not meant to be done easly.. and the discomfort is not damaging and the water will cool to resonability before too long.. using the soap and the stiff bristled brush scrubs out another area.. and then cleans the suds off of that.. the sable colored wood that is left behind gleams like polished jet in the hot sunlight.. and he grins lopsidly at the eye pleasing result.

: just as he did with the sweeping.. he goes and does the other side. and can not help but look back at what has been done.. adds a scrubbing of Mistress's porch to the things to do.. even tho it is pretty clean..he can not help but imagine. it looking like this..working is way to the step .. and at that point.. starting to gather up the things that he will no longer need. and take then down laying them on the grass.. remember.. ask about verr dilshad. he reminds himself. then brings down the waters .. putting them on the ground.. and dips the brush in.. the liquid now cooler and it's level lower..holding it to the outside of the steps so that it does not drip.. on the wood.. he scrubs. doing one step at a time. . then laying the brush, upside down on the step below it.. fetching up a cleaning rag.. having to reach . deep down into the nearky empty bucket.. to be able to wipe one step down. before moving to the next one down .

: it was not what he expected today. but he has learned to be flexiable and bend with the fluid nature of events... he lets his eye roam over the wagon.. composing the report..ask about the grass... the two. no three spots on the dome that need reapair... the paint job that is showing it's many sesasons of life..just as an old thrall adds wrinkles and liver spots..andddddd.. andddd certainly there was someting else..??. he mutters to himself..verr, paint. wear.. ver.. paint.. ahh yes !! the squeaking third step down from the top.. he pours the left over water from the kettle into the leather bucket. then uses the spare reps to swab it out. so that he can put the cleaning supplies in the empty kettle.. locating the broom.. that for a terrible instance he thought he had left on the porch!. yipes !.. tucks it under an arm. picking up the kettle in one hand and the bucket in the other...taking them all back

: he sets them down and opens one of the disposal barrels for water. pouring the grey, gritty and sudsy water into it. tighly shutting the lid.. then the dirty rags go into a laundry barrel under the wagon.. the boom as well is added to a barrel.. under the wagon. put in upside down to join it's cleaning breathern.. lastly the leather work bucket is cleaned... and scoured .. he draws water from a drinking barrel.. after he is done... fills the shoulder slung bota..and takes a long and refreshing drink from it..before pushing the bone carved stopper back in.. and swining so that it hangs once more at the center of his back.. taking the bucket back to where he got if from.. near the com wagon.. shading his eyes and looking at the sun to see how late in the day it is.
it is late.. and the day has been long if not hard.. he goes back to Mistress's wagon.. now with the chore over. the bright light that lit his soul.. is gone.. and tireness takes it place.. simply. he lays in the grass.. knowing what he wants to dream of.. and closing his eyes.. hoping for it..
