​

old cow path
a chipmunk's stripe zips
into a hole

​

at grandpa's farm
spitting down the well

intermittent rain

the Model T struggles
through tractor ruts

​

parade day--
all the plow horses
sport straw hats

​

gathered in the south forty
sheaves of golden wheat

​

family reunion . . .
sticking toothpicks
in a sweet potato

​
