Scarecrow
by
morgan Michaels

I am a scarecrow
I watch the clouds
glide across the sky
as the winds blow
to and fro.

Rooks and crows
slide across the sky:
they fear me---why? why?
being but paille an chaparral--

my head a bag of straw
oh, the crows
cry caw! caw!
that's the only song they seem to know.

My hat a sunflower.
Seeds of the standing weeds
take their rest
in its nest
and sprout and root and grow.
