Archive Selection--By Peggy Dugan French--United States--Originally Published--December 10, 2014

flashback

dairy cows sauntering through fields
grain-filled silos shooting skyward
fields of corn rolling in the breeze
cats sipping milk in the weathered barn . . .

me

standing on the gravel road
breathing in this unspoiled life
bundling it up for later
past and present colliding
