Poem: Crows In Wheatfield

 

Crows in Wheatfield

 

flecks of pepper

in saffron stipples,

 

summer dreams

tossed on a straw bed.

 

a scythe could reap, 

writhing like a snake,

 

feverish implement,

stroked to obsess.

 

i can hear the labor

vaporing off the canvas,

 

a jagged song, it wavers,

ripples troubled,

 

stung and perturbed 

by ponds of pigment,

overwhelming the lobe.
