Schlafen

There is a place for it
and it is an empty side
walk on an empty side
street with no cars or

foot traffic rumbling by
but no hay bails either
just a couple of drops
of water falling from a

now grey sky

concrete and glass
seem so cold but why are
we so at home in them
and why are we not awake

yet?

Subject
to the forces
a storm

the summer
the stalks fell down
bowing their golden heads
almost in an act of worship
subject
inspires
awe
