Trees in a Field

15 5 3
                                    

Pariah rain dancers with twisty limbs

Curl-twirling to the candy floss clouds,

Grasping for forgiveness from the

Sun gods that bellow their silent

Sky-fire rage from heaven, while

The brick box infidels creep

Over the brow of the hill – planning

Their next decimation – and while,

Year on year, the grass grows wild and

Burns in the heat as the corn falls:

Heavy and yellow in abundance.
