the moon's unblinking eye

 

Harvest moon veils the field,  
dark lips pressed against silence;  
the night’s ears rise like daggers,  
cornstalks brood in their rows.  

A scarecrow mutters his curses,  
straw hands clawing the wind;  
the furrows remember old blood,  
roots whisper of famine and fire.  

Dreams drift like torn banners,  
caught on the teeth of the hedges;  
the moon watches, unblinking,  
as sleep is harvested too.

Jesus loves us, stoned or not
