Barren Land – Golden Seed Grove

Barren Land – Golden Seed Grove
Straight road
dividing the
now dry
salt lake
a field
of white
barren
‘cept for
salt bush.

Grey weathered
trees
long past
their prime
stripped of
any life
reach out
from mother
earth
like the
bony fingers
of the crone
reaching out
seeking sustenance
for her
barren land.
