The Last Harvest Poem by Leslie Philibert

The Last Harvest



A forest without moonlight
A moon with no light
If there would be moonlight
there would be the shapes of trees.
But there is no moonlight.
Only moon.

Harvesters work the fields.
Shaitan.
Mengele.
Ivory faces with the eyes of owls.
Slices of animals; bloodcorn; plant

the crops of Treblinka and Verdun.
We have stolen the passion of the killing.

the harvest moon is usually the most bright of the year. shedding a bright light on the earth. the work so hard without the light of the moon. nice imagery
