Guarding the corn

December 2, 2015
By Anonymous

Eyes staring
black holes devoid of a soul

with only dirty straw to keep bones warm.

 

They are the great protectors of the land

standing tall on two wooden posts

but humiliated

by the wounds

of countless crows

 

It seems that the straw is more delicious than the seeds.

 

I guess they served their purpose after all.
