i didn´t understand the question (ed2)

[Tiger the Lion]

about the question                                                                 (edit leanne)

she had alzheimer´s, but the old lady once said
that about seventy years ago there was a field
in czechoslovakia, maybe not only then and not only there.
it might have produced grain in summer,
one late autumn day it grew (a few) arms,
digging to reach the sky
and its air -
then still.
and still, she seems waiting for answers.

Hey Vagabond. I prefer the new ending. But I hear "a few" as a similar intrusion. To my ear it adds an almost mocking tone if attributed to the N and not the lady. Striking it would be less distracting IMO.

i can´t wait to share her dementia.

  mainly i´d like to know if content is clear enough and if it´s a bad idea to let the subject speak in the last line
