The Wide #77
by Darren C. Demaree
Of course no screams
we hold no tears
the stalk & yet, each
before we cup season we
the grain are gentle
& even if before we
that act bring in
is meant the machines
to bend to envelope
the promise
& separate
the crop that was first
from the mother, made lovingly.
It was important
we do so
knowing that the giving
how important take placce
more often
it is to hold
the mother first & it was important
before we that the taking
be done right
consume
the child.
No words,
