Turn of Leaf
A turn of leaf, To get the sun,
The big old pot in the hollow house,
To glimpse within the empty hearth,
And wonder what to eat today,
A mesmerizing occurrence in this life,
A big old pot in the hollow house,
Makes no sense to me, To us and them,
But maybe today some food will appear,
By the farmer, From the field and into my pot,
The big old pot in the hollow house.
