These tines, thresher’s sledge
gouging flesh, tearing
chaff from stalk in one
smooth strike. Plundering
periphery has
its benefits; as
empty hulls fall to
the earth, seeds awake
to freshly ploughed soil.

After
After tears, a grin,
after loss, a win;
as hope soars on love’s wing,
after winter, spring.
After darkness, light,
after stumbles, flight;
as battles fought are won,
after rain blooms sun.
