Indian Summer in the Valley



Indian Summer in the Valley

On my fantasy farm I spend my day harvesting squash and researching borscht recipes.  Rhubarb whispers what it wants me to do to it.  In a rocking chair, I prick my finger sewing together the jacket of this year's scarecrow.  Sore, I earn my hunger.  Handsome becomes an adjective for tractors.  Tall is talk for corn.  Canning is dictated by instinct.  I know the exact phase of the moon.  Music is a hum originating from the space between my two bottom ribs.  Rhythm is picking before there's ice.  Insomnia exists only in my dreams.

  1. Is so romantic, there on your fantasy farm. I want to dance with handsome tractors.
