Men of Hay; What is "me?"

Men of Hay; What is "me?"

A Poem by Jose Camacho

In the hands of the men of hay;
From their hands, a diamond fell. 
When coal became a fortune;
My ever green soon began to grow.
At dawn, from where a soldier looks,
He sees-- Saw what was a bow.
If you ask a soldier what he saw,
He saw-- "Hands of the men of hay I see."
Follow where I've stepped in snow,
Melting-- The winter melts me. 
Men of hay soon ask me to taste.
Taste this-- Bitter taste was bloody. 
Dust is the ash of earth,
And the men of hay are my children.
What will they become?
I am-- But who can be me?
All the hay is men of golden grass,
The morning seems to-- I've gone mad.
The evergreen is apples on my tongue,
Like the allergy of a peanut to your mouth.
One, but followed not by two,
The third is now forgotten.
In this dream we salute who--
Can that "who" be me and grass?
On a mountain of voices of the passing,
Souls of earth are made with hay.
Let me soon become the coal-- Transform.
What is me? 
The Diamond.

It's okay. Just because things are poem don't mean they have to rhyme :)
