The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

A red dress lies on a golden field near an old barn.


Kansas

Prairie homestead on the golden plain,
the crop circles inscribed in mute report
around the humble cabin of ancestral hope
and, wafted by the ceaseless wind,
a red dress lands in curious comment,
vagrant punctuation in an obscure script,
a foreign flag from the far off city,
but poignant counterpoint to the endless space.

For Express It In Eight, 06.14.24
