i like broken women

didn't hear from you

thought maybe we had hung it up

everybody tries to read me through my poetry 

sometimes it's only make believe

i see you hiding out there in the corn

your interest piques when there's a new bloom

out there in the electronic pasture

i like damaged women

brokenness is downright sexy

this man knows no exchanges and returns

you can't recycle women

you only can maintain them the best you can

the stalks are moving

i tell myself it's the wind

yesterday i saw two scarecrows fighting

they stuffed themselves full of possession

harvest time sends them running

they worry about the knee highs

grown and considerably more upright than them

i like broken women

let me sweep your pieces off their feet

and i sit in the loft on top of this old gray barn

watching a red tailed hawk circle

choosing exactly what he wants

with a swoop and a snatch

the sky and the silt looks so pink at sunset

i'm happy for the quiet

though i must admit

i listen for the snaps

out in the field

psst there's something newly broken
