...Barren fields of November
Corn stalks ragged
        broken soldiers
        bleak beauty

Beige bones on autumn's carpet

Margins of daylight that disappear

to crack under......

I cast these concepts
I cast these kernels
Kernels in my hand
Kernels in the clay
Clay of loam
Clay of words
Words to describe
Words packed
Packed with exegesis
Packed with strength

     begging, promises of unlikely saint-hood
     if my brother, (much to his displeasure) made a pledge

...Hens and Roosters in the barnyard
living in symbiotic relationships
each searching for kernels of corn.
Taking turns with beaks they snip
scorned and pecked. What the heck?

How hard should it ......

...A former place this, a patch where roots rattle,
where stubble has a ferrous frizzle.
A long truncated railroad stop
humming still within a surrogate reality.

Soup’s currents steer time as it goes
when her poets navigate thru it.

donned in dew and vivid peach,
I am in need of dawning's candle;
humor me as I beseech.
