German Photograph [Spy Wednesday]

The lime-green rapeseed
Un-pressed and swollen waits
With oil upon the harvest and
They were long ago and unknown to me
Now; but for this captured field
Of digital lime-green illumination
To reveal our eye on unfamiliar places
And share our visions with one another
Since if our communal memories met together
For a moment alone in a room the floor would
Bow for all the mendacity and homesickness.
Truth is thick with heavy liquid called tears
Like the oil of Canola
Seeds poured down on my face.
