spring morning…
ploughing the warm air
into the soil

<選評>

So simple. There seems to be nothing new here and yet the language has me convinced that I am discovering a new truth as I read it. There’s a sensuaus aspect to the combination of warm air and cold soil. which appears to redifine the regeneration of spring. The active ?ploughing suggests a love for, and careful stewardship of, the land. This feels like a timeless piece that would have been as relevant at the dawn of human agriculture as it now, in times of genetically-modified crops.
