FARM FOR SALE For Sue and Dave Farlow, May 2006 Morning over west pasture: moonset huge and pumpkin pale, lumbering toward the edge of the known world. Two p.m., fishing in the pond: the glare of sun on water frightening the crickets into silence, students in class, always the wrong answer: which way to the bream’s wide mouth? Fat evening: sitting in the yard, the skin of this sky barely milky blue under a cape of rose, robins hurtling overhead by thousands toward spring, you can feel the wind from their wings in the way your hair moves. Who will buy that pale gourd, those uncaught fish, that silky breath of the turning world? --Marjorie Hudson Published in People’s Civic Record, February 2007. |
