Ships are turning, leaves are burning
Captain said he’d send me overboard
Half of every third word is true
Come to find out from my crow's bough
Flocking down upon the deck below
Briny wash me up and now I’m new
Share in seeing a searing being
Poseidon’s nephew has his uncle's eyes
Trident poised to gash you anew
Cords, cut hands and ropes for landing
Captain said to call when you’ve see it all
Half of every third word is true
Faded eyes and a weary smile is all you have to show
Trade your anguish now relinquishing your lightened load
A furrowed brow and a primitive scowl tether you below
Toiling the tundra and the office and sea
Yields are thinning, springs beginnings
Seeds are saddled in their rocky beds
A tenth of every harvest goes to him
Matches tossed from falling silos
Ashes land among the budding corn
Cut a path through thistle and through thorn
Swine and cattle poised in battle
Warring for the trough and the water there
Leaving no room for the other beast
Sun baked necks, trails, leading back rails
Tread hangs loosely from your tattered boots
Sit atop your Massey Harris throne
Raw feet on a hot clay path carry you weightless to
A clearing in the bleached pines that surround the acreage
Wet your toes and forget your woes, they’ll be there for you
As solid and as porous as the ground you labor on
Meetings pressing, sharply dressing
Concepts running late and they're overdue
Half of every third word is true
Copy this to send to them their
Only wishing to be rid of you
And you could rid them easily enough
Need you Friday and early Monday
Don’t leave at all sleep below your station
Train and wave of endless cursed demands
Leaves are turning, leaves in turning now
Open water, field, stream, and leaning house
Not dependent on another's plan
