A distant Combine gathers grain



                
last week he disappeared


           carving stubbled tracks


                
into familiar countryside


          throwing gold dust at the sun


               
and hours later found himself 


          a memory of what had grown


               
on strange roads sixty miles from home


          and stood through wind and rain


              
not knowing where he was, or why


          a distant Combine gathers grain
