Tin and zinc
\nmaking brass and bronze,
\nin the soybean field.
\nAn hour before winter.
\nHave you noticed how copper
\nmelts among the furrows?
\nHow beautiful your skin is
\nfrom summer blushing?
\nYour eyes with their luster of buckeyes?
\nThe rich harvest of sunset.
\nThe barren darkness of cold.
\nIn an eye\u2019s blink
\nsnow and tracks crisscrossing
\neach other.
\nA conversation.
\nHush. The earth is speaking.
\nHush. The heart is singing.
\nHush, fall is falling
\ninto the pillow of its dream.
\nLet our sleep
\nbe all about embracing.
\nOh my love,
\nlove-making in the leaves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
