\nGrainstacks at the End of Summer, Morning Effect<\/em> by Claude Monet<\/p>\n
\nstillness in this grain-stack ingests cities
\nbeguiling with the iron scent of rain,
\ndancing a gallows jig on the nostrils.
\nThis stack is guarded by men pretending
\nto be beggars- we hear tales of grist\u2019s gold,
\ntreasures hidden in shrines beneath the loam;
\nthat plotting box of dirt braids adventures
\nof secret agents disguised as vicars
\nmisleading the pious, others posing
\nas fortune tellers to keep us enthralled
\nand static. We lurk in the crow feather
\nshade, immobile, fearing landscape artists
\nin the trees while we gather the harvest.<\/p>\n
