in Illinois
November 10th, 2002
I'm standing in my field of tall, white hay
dandilions are bushed between my hands
the field's full of their golden hair swimming the breeze
I'm thinking of their sticky stems stuck in the earth
my bushel's escaping too, I'll let bodies chase their brides
the air won't whistle; it's to busy taunting the flowers
