Set-aside

Hard black crows bobbing where once ran deep furrows.

Frazzled oak silhouetted in her ivy dress.

Winter sun catches dog fox through thin hedges:

Throws his long shadow north to the emptiness.



Farmhouse in tatters; shuttered and battered.

Even lovers don't go there these last few years.

Spider-web windows on set-aside heroes

Standing lost in a landscape of tears.
