Lean in burt like tires
Smoke bakes barn sides bare
Work unshorn, shoes in wet grass
Old leaves a wet nest,
A pudding of decay
Staying pressed.
Stoke the baking slop
The ceiling pushes up
Tipis of smoke
And fossils of burnt
Powder igniting fires
Over the farm shed
While gravity rakes them
Back down again.
