Feel the rumble of the tractor toil Pulling plow over silent ground Lifting, mixing chocolate soil Throwing subterranean world around Sweeping swallows pick juicy grubs Of blinded larvae lifted to the sun Razor eyes not missing nubs or stubs Or even pieces of deliciousness dun Slicing dicing down the furrow goes Then harrow smoothes and buries all Icing a meal for ring billed gulls To the delight of their shrieking call Ready now the planter starts to seed Soon to spread the golden grain Over a hidden world be buried Now resting in the earth again
