Full Moon Scarecrow
I remember how the cornstalks felt in high summer, a summer of sticky sweet heat. My fingers peeled husks away when I put kernels in cast iron and watched the butter bubble in the oven. There is only my own hand to scoop out a helping. Heat rises and in the stalks the flies buzzing in high summer are a chorus. I walk under sunlight while the Moon lingers, a sentinel, water to soothe the burns of the day.
