A song hides in the weeds,
deep in the soil,
and in the city streets.
The song wants to rise up.
The song dances on the sun.
A pitchfork devil
wants to corner the song.
The passionate song
runs through the fields.
It marches on.
The song’s heart gasps
for air.

Reminds me of a Native American chant. I love the rhythm,
