Morning II (draft)

Waking
Sitting up, and sitting on the edge of the bed
Showering, putting clothes on

One man is strapping armor on
And shouldering weapons
Putting rounds in a chamber, one by one

Another is standing beside a tractor
In the light of the early sun
Preparing for a full harvest

The third, at his doorway
Scans the clouds for signs
Of a rainstorm, in the deepening grey

Step out of the doorway now
Feel the wind on your face
See rows of homes, see the twisting trees

And make your way forward
