::: Their Patient Horse :::

These men in straw hats
stooped by tradition
harvest tobacco.
Bucking sheaves
as they move down long rows.
Their patient horse
drawing the wagon
reluctantly moving forward
As if it were the entire day
not tobacco that is its burden
Moving so slowly
Thorough air thick with heat
and the dust and the yelling
of the stooped men in straw hats.
