"The Payload" 

The payload

from the tight confines
of a course rope...

To contently recline:
Amidst coy Junes radiant beams 
of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

Kentucky's late summer sunshine
sunk deep into their skin
as the boy rode on the back
of his Grandfather's coppered horse,
the tobacco harvest would begin soon,
aromas of sweet leaf darkness

The wind ever stirring, the snow swirling 'round
Ahead lay destiny, a lone dying form
He felt a stirring, as if homeward bound

They have lost all their perpetual leaves
Nude branches shooting up in the  stagnant air
Whispering something that you have to hear
A stinking smell permeates the atmosphere

A tale told by trees, rooted
in the things that yearn
far from sight and light of day
deep within the earth…
Wisdom, cautious, heeds -
