rectangular bales
tied with nylon twine
Lego brick the wheat fields.
Walking the edge,
where the green footpath sign
points toward Rowney Green
my childhood fades into memory
where the coal black crows
glean for summer's bounty
discarded ears of wheat
and combine-sliced field mice
to please the hungry palate.
In the hedgerow
elderberries hang heavy and red
hinting at a harsh winter
and an end to glory
