The Writing Field

 

In fields of ripening artichokes

where nouns are sure to step

Where verbs climb to higher ground

from where the floods are kept,

I scrape my pen across the page

leaving thoughts so bitter

Yet knowing in my writing field

all I’ve done is litter.

In margins I have scribbled notes

of things I don’t remember

Like harvesting the artichoke

can’t wait until December.
