A Poor Evening Sonnet On the Topic of Life and Nature and the Fragility of Life, for and Requested by, KT Bee
Some mechanised crank winds up the day
And down the evening -
So hues of rapeseed and still-green hay
Morph their course like a swallow weaving.
Winter eyes course the coloured field
as our machines combine betwixt -
But wind and light do not yield
Regardless of a body free or fixed.
Though the West moved time ahead
It cannot stretch the sun for hours
Still we ride into our summer stead
While night-time falls to blacken flowers.
Quiet roads and chromatic fields bring temporal joy and strife,
But it's summer's skylight colour crush that bring us courage for life.
^I refuse to be held accountable in the future for that by the way.
