The Winter Harvest - 1. The Winter Harvest

There is a farm where people grow

Cold as ash

Hard as bone

 

Sweetest are they before ripe

Soft skin peeled by well worn knife

 

Farm hand, seedless fruit made tool

Picker picked

Foil made Fool

 

Grown by tree and raised in pen

left-right, backward, down again

 

On cellar shelves rest sleepless heads

still preserves

bitter spread

 

stock still, stocks still work as,

stock firmly held, stock are shot for stock

 

Such pallid milk do people make

Sheep shear sheep

Rooster takes

First off, the sound I like. Is it macabre, or a grim fairy tale. Is that left to me to decide or are you telling something. A warning or an observation. At the moment a mystery as to why.
