After the Flood

[tectak]

He kicks beneath the paling crust
to where the sun has failed the earth
and flocculation turned the juice
into a suffocant for seed,
that quenched the animating fuse.
The flood has gone; to heal the land
he scarifies the earth again
and turns the rotting germ to light.
Time walks beside the new sown grain
and promises each dormant husk
another chance...
provided there is rain.

yah, this is pretty good, Tom. It is concise. Maybe "new-sown". I am liking the sonics. I will read a few more times and note if anythig else pops up.

Thanks milo, true,chris. Hyphen coming. This may be a wrap.
Best,
tectak
