Silage
Team--Machete Thirst
By
Leland Jamieson
My eyes sweat thorns. They’re stung by bugs air-borne
on every swipe of blade. I think they’ll burst.
Nothing is worse than cutting ripened corn--
no work I ever did brought me such thirst--
or are the bug bites down my shirt the worst...?
Come truck ride in, atop the load, we skin
and munch green stalks--how broad and sweet each grin....
