Two short lines carry a surprising amount of feeling. The speaker bursts out in praise of his wife, calling her "fat" and "found" in the same breath, as if both words were terms of endearment. "Fat" suggests warmth, abundance, and comfort rather than criticism, while "found" hints that she is someone he came upon, perhaps unexpectedly, and is glad to have. She is also a person "to walk with," a companion for the ordinary business of moving through life.
The second line turns inward. "In, in I walk" repeats the word, and the direction matters: he is not walking out into the world but deeper into something, perhaps her company, the marriage, or his own contentment. The title, "Husbandry," plays on the word's double sense of being a husband and of careful tending, as a farmer tends land. The mood is tender, grateful, and quietly joyful, with a slightly playful, chanting rhythm.
