Mt. Union, Dairy Country




A small battened church

with no pastor

on a mountain at the bottom of sky,


Graves in a cornfield,

clans of the land

gathered under their names eroding,


Red barns and white houses,

beeves in the fields,

a few farms still milking, as it once was,


Cows on their shadows,

long vistas,

birds passing over,


The seventh generation

holds on if it can,

feel the wind blow, strong as ever.
