Hay

The flowers in her hair

wet in the morning

are dry by ten

Her apron clings

stones like hands

press in her pocket

Tomorrow

the scythes will gasp

as her clothes fall down

On this slope she’ll lie

hands on its shoulder

feet on the road below

Gathered in lines

her cocks will crouch

like couples in the moonlight

Next day in the sun

she’ll walk on her hands

to get as dry as fire

Combed by the women

lifted by men

she’ll ride the carts

Front wheels locked

with a pole through their spokes

I’ll take her down

And when I pack her

second wife under my roof

my sweat will blind me.
