when all is fog
pale and gray
numb from lack of texture
because there is none
Poems
Farming is good fences
Farming is sacrifice
From the cathedral of soil I am drawn to the roots of plants.
Through cambium I rise, the sun beckons.
The winds move me, rivers in the sky.
Food and fiber. Farmer and rancher. Music player and dancer.
Good is happening
Lest we forget
Do not bury me
far from the leaves of the forest floor.
Let me decay quickly
to live on in the lives of others.
A table full of laughter
Mouthful of smiles
with a roasted squash on the way
