IN A DRY TIME
My crops were dying in the field.
The dog days seemed to never end.
Iâd wait and curse and pray but still
nothing but the well bucket fell.
Soon it would scrape bottom. By then
my crops would stand dead in the field.
September came in dry as hell.
The sun never blinked, no hint of a wind.
Iâd pray and curse and pray but still
not even Jesus Christ could heal
dirt turned to dust, scorched roots. By then
my crops were standing dead in the field.
I had no harvest to pay my bills,
so tried for another loan and when
the bank said sorry I begged but still
it did no good, though my eyes filled
with water, too little water to mend
broken crops dead in the field.
I left crop rows for rows of steel.
