Read the excerpt from "Digging."
Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests; snug as a gun.
Under my window, a clean rasping sound
When the spade sinks into gravelly ground:
My father, digging. I look down
Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds
Bends low, comes up twenty years away
Stooping in rhythm through potato drills
Where he was digging.
Read the haiku by Bashō.
A crow
has settled on a bare branch—
autumn evening.

The pen is resting "snug as a rifle," according to him. Additionally, he says that after giving his father milk, "he straightened up to sip it, then dropped right away" to resume working.
