I walked along the fence line,
hands in my denim-jeans,
headlong into the warm-breeze.
Windmill-blades spun,
squeaking through rust,
wildflowers fluttered
as the sun bore down.
A flock of birds hung
on the top strand
of kinked barbed wire,
scattering as I approached,
spinning up
into a spiral above.
Cool-sweat dripped
down my spine,
reminding me,
reminding me of her,
my dream girl,
the sweat we created
in fields of clover.
The crows cawed,
mocked me,
reminding me
it was now over
and I,
I was all alone
in these empty fields of clover.

I walked along the fence line,
hands in my denim-jeans,

Windmill-blades spun,

A flock of birds hung
on the top strand
of kinked barbed wire,
scattering as I approached,
spinning up

Cool-sweat dripped

reminding me,
reminding me of her,
my dream girl,
the sweat we created
in fields of clover.
The crows cawed,
mocked me,
reminding me
it was now over
and I,
I was all alone
in these empty fields of clover.
