orange haze keeps the long stickly grass dry <br />swaying back and forth in the hot breeze <br />it's beautiful <br /> <br />the roundworms wriggle viciously beneath the stocks <br />preparing to dig into the skin of passersby <br />multiply in the lungs <br /> <br />the workers laugh as they tend the fields <br />slicing, hacking away at the roots, their feet in water <br />life is good <br /> <br />the worms crawl through the intestines, festering <br />reproducing in the lungs and stomach, growing bigger <br />they're coughed out <br /> <br />hackhack<br /><br />Kale Beaudry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-190/
