Fallow Ground

Frets the farmer on the plow

By M.Published 2 years ago 1 min read

Frets the farmer on the plow,

unmoved, the field foregoes.

Vane, through harvests that don't last,

grounded, are those who came to pass.

Ancestors wore down by forgotten toils

as ashes, begotten embers,

but lo -

the field, remembers?

If that's so - I'm not mistaken,

nothing truly goes forsaken.

Wildflowers and brushwood,

I'll be the sweat of their brows.
