The plowed land outside my window has been obliterated..




White knuckles

 

The black earth
scythed clear of wheat and rye
belly-upped by sharp shinings
has in anger tightened her fist
and the knuckles are snow-white 
each furrowed bar smoothed

to winter's sleep

rest in peace
good earth

we wont harrow you
for quite a while
