A Spectacle

Eagle soars high in the sky
over deserted land
cracked earth bare trees
all dead


man with yellow hair
crouches there
before a wooden cross
he prays for rain

across golden ears of  corn
danceth She
fragile
light as a bird

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wARiOb80Zr0  ..a Tudor rendition of Greensleeves....

he waited answer to his prayer
and thus She came to him
and lay upon the broken ground
pierced his back with thorns
rivulets of blood poured out


people gathered all around
looked on
not caring they
a spectacle to be enjoyed by them...
