Anglican Theological Review, Summer 1999 by Slocum, Sheryl
Germination
It seems that there is nothing more
to say about these fields,
brown, neatly combed,
seeds hidden under moist earth.
Poets and philosophers have said it all, have meditated on field mice and the destiny of man.
Farmers have said it all,
pausing their pickups mid-road to swap news
about the back forty,
the price of seed,
the likelihood of rain.
It has all been said.
The fields hold their peace
in varying shades of brown
under the wide, wide sky
where unpredictability of elements holds sway.
The fate of civilization rests
beneath the brown hull of these fields
about which nothing more can be said.
