First Oak Drops Her Acorn Babies

First oak drops

her acorn babies

Only then the

swaddling leaves.



They who rake

the earth defrock

removing

sheltering

sleeves



Some do gather

new mown cornstalks

into

meadow sheaves



but the unmown

field does

shsh sheep

to  sleep

near their soft

and loving

sheaths
