A scarecrow dwells on the horizon Such a lonely image of crucifixion No ragged thieves surrounding Sublimely frightening and beautiful Observing this world’s unfolding From the inside solitude of loneliness Externally gazing at the moving distance Tethered and shackled to lifelessness Exposed to nature’s scorning passage A victim of insignificant circumstance This symbol of something miraculous Sowing each souls fertile imagination Harvesting it in the rags of the future Fixed and pinioned to the present The lonely ballerina on the landscape Unmoved the world moves around it Like a dancing figure on a music box.

Scarecrow
A scarecrow dwells on the horizon Such a lonely image of crucifixion No ragged thieves surrounding Sublimely frightening and beautiful Observing this world’s unfolding From the inside solitude of loneliness Externally gazing at the moving distance Tethered and shackled to lifelessness Exposed to nature’s scorning passage A victim of insignificant circumstance This symbol of something miraculous Sowing each souls fertile imagination Harvesting it in the rags of the future Fixed and pinioned to the present The lonely ballerina on the landscape Unmoved the world moves around it Like a dancing figure on a music box.
