Field

Joseph E. Reed

June 19, 2013


In my home I'll have a garden

Planted with furrows of seeds

Mustard greens, tomatoes, radishes and turnips

Mesquite stakes to train vines

Flowers and a hint of pine

A basin, washbasin

I'll wipe resin from my hands

Wash my sweat and dust down, down, down, down the drain

And it will drain, drain, drain out to my fields

There therein was Abel killed
