paper crowns
drop to your knees in the field in awe.
all that land laced with your enemies’ salt.
the rust of the world rising up from the aquifer.
rows of gaunt scarecrows growing like corn.
how dare you wish for daughters.
how dare you plant herbs in fallow earth.
the field is sown with bones.
the clouds are sown with clotted rain.
out of the trees comes the old horror.
will you take its hand?
