Dale Gregory Cozart Poet Imagism

Tin Fields

It's rained 
for two weeks
Sky and streets 
are shades of steel
Aluminum tulips erupt 
on asphalt lawns
echoing pewter leaves
Graphite blades 
burst through sidewalks
having grown impatient
in seeds
sought by swarms
of silver locusts
come to devour 
our tin fields
