Lowly Sacrament

  • Apr 25

Tumble down

The terrace steps,

Into the misty, murky, cool, damp depths

Of rice paddies,

Stacked in rows they peer,

As stalk behind stalk holds sustenance dear.

As grey draws in

And fog stoops down,

I sit watching the growth of a grain well renowned

For feeding mouths,

Moulding temples and shrines;

Sacraments reared from lowly staples of mine.
