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.
