Gold light too bright, just right for corn
So clear the fingers feel the stiff cold to come
Tease of perfection, glows orange, yellow, blue
holding me down to the browning grass.
To feed the world, the hogs, the cows
all on corn
row upon row of sameness expecting diversity
all growing upon corn
The machines will go clouds of dust in the valley
be patient, be patient!
Or, don't drive but in town.
Road strewn with blank red cobs and sand colored husks
like Fraternity Row on Sunday morning- cups blown against the fence
something went on here!
bouncing on his feet.
Inside the glare of the cab, a simple wave, and he's off into the broken field to climb high
into the noise
I'm sure they'll give him back.
Great pictures, as always. I wish I'd taken more this year, particularly during the 2nd hay cuttings. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy to see the corn being taken in before the beans? Or taken in in early September at all?! The dryness turned it from green to gold in a week! We'll probably have early fall colors too. Hope don't have any Ike's blowing through before the peak...
