The Sunflowers Glow
The land of ten-thousand lakes and all the sunflowers glow.
White, pitch, and red pine trees in moonfall, the sunflowers glow.
My neck cranes to gaze upward, reverent, bright as a child.
Yellow the star of the north — way tall, the sunflowers glow.
The bread and butter state, spread of honeywheat factories.
Taste of gilded sun waning in Fall — the sunflowers glow.
Virgin flakes, light and sugary, the cherry dawn blossoms.
White eyelashes, cold petals, stone wall — the sunflowers glow.
Friday dances chill, fantasizing, wanting what’s up North.*
Wooden flames tantalize, they recall the sunflowers glow.
