Frostbite

See the sky here
Stars and raindrops
Barking dogs
Farm equipment
Fields that go on for days.

And there is frost here.
Killing the flowers
Wind that runs unimpeded to my doorstep
Here where the sky hates the sun who hates the earth
The earth in her turn pushes back with dust
The sky hates the dust and we start again
Hatred grows faster than the flowers here

The complexities of this place are lazy.
I don't care to sort them out.
Because they are all the same
Sky, sun, and earth,
All the same.
