Untitled

Rough, Course, and Hardened by the Earth

the farmer continues on in his tilling of the land.

Day in and day out as he is shined upon and so too is darkened

Left with the quiet thoughtfulness that only such a life of solitude can provide

This is the way of things. Purely his own, he is ridden of toxins and filth

Enriched by the world seen through his eyes, and cast away by the inevitable.

Such a waste, not headed down the pipe or in the gutters in the streets,

but face to face these menacing glances. The trickery craft of witch and ghoul.

 

Another day to work the land

A world set afire from where he stands
