A Way From the TradeA Poem by Joel CrowA son of the foundry falls in with a daughter of the fields. In his life before the only relationships he knew were vessels for transaction; in this strange new thing he is slow to trust.Have you always felt this way? Have you always felt the sway of the ages, the drifting and drafting of loose-leaf pages, in limbs ever-creaking from far-flung breeze? Have you always stood firm as the trees? And was it for trust you bared root, or treason? Where broken road staggered my praise of the season, the colors and forms, you smiled at my apt expense. One smile could disarm my defense. © 2018 Joel CrowAuthor's Note
