TWENTY: FIELDS AND INHABITANTS

Vast and sometimes flaxen from the sun. How many seasons does it receive? And the transitional parts?- where the spring flows into the summer the summer lays down to slumber allowing for autumn and the autumn becomes overtaken by a winter that holds fast and hard but eventually melts upon itself and disappears into spring. Field. Where the pre-storm wind ignites some willfully melancholic dream feeling right there in waking reality. Field. Where those crows caw and you say-Its okay- Caw crows- caw louder- because really, it is known in the marrow and blood even, that there is no such thing as death or decay. Field. When the cold northern rain announces itself and the dusk makes it colder yet. Field. The electric light queen is absent, - unlike in films or storybooks. But it’s the way of things, for some reason or for no reason. We walk on the best we can and smile some because we are here.
