Poem: Crows In Wheatfield

 

Crows in Wheatfield

 

flecks of pepper

in saffron stipples,

 

summer dreams

atoss on straw beds.

 

a scythe might reap through

if it writhed like a snake,

 

feverish implement,

stroked to obsess.

 

i can hear the labor,

vaporing off the canvas,

 

a chain song that could

overwhelm my lobe.

 

it wavers, this scene.

a stung pond, a façade troubled.

 

peace,

perturbed by pigment,

 

ripples.
