Absolutely stunning, “You, child

pendulum swinging

rocking slowly awake

to the sound of buzzing.”

This, "It’s true, poverty brings patience.

We will wait

til the sun sets and the fields

are empty of reapers. We will gather

what remains. We will wait

and watch the light dance gold

around the ears of corn."

Your imagery is colorful.
