L'estate

May 1, 2013
Labor Day

the threshing

large yard
and typing
swirl of beans
a restless voices
in the early morning

the wind pieces of grain
the hard work
tied to the land
sheaf raised
flag of straw

hasty peck
free-range chickens
bustling
among many grains

festive choral singing
which do honor to the wine
to toast
without fear

Maristella Angels
(From "The world upside down")
