chickens--field

chickens—field

speckled fowl range over green

baize grass shards strewn glinting

white field leans stretched

now asphalt challenges yellow

bright yellow white almost

drops in air outward wrench

blue rooster ranges in orange red

tensor bloom outward besides

stipple rusts along dry

blue rooster—white chickens

speckled red hen—black rooster

gray hen orange chickens green field
