Summer evening landscape, Lleida-Camp
de Tarragona
as the train speeds up,
grass and hay fields, some
in dun stubble, some green as Ireland;
old blacktop roads,
knolls in the distance like
barrows wild cane,
reeds, umbrella pines,
canals, and well tended
kitchen gardens or orchards;
eroded railway ditch walls and
stacks of lumber beside
a solar panel company
cumulus cloud shapes—champagne
corks or chariot dragons—
then the pine covered hills
with their cultivated plots
in a dip of plain—olive trees, maize,
fruit trees, wheat
