    Albert K. Ashes-Bury’s Rough Sketch

    I am building a straw man for my poetry
    sitting on a hay bale in a field
    pretending to enjoy the sun, while labourers
    walk home from work measuring me—

    pointing the finger; downing their beer—as I sketch them

    building a straw man for my poetry
    sitting on a hay bale in a field
    pretending to enjoy the sun; while really
    I am the scarecrow a long way from Kansas.

    The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection To a Blind Horse (and subscribe at the top of the page).
