The whole land is made...

Leave me not to mine oppressors:

The last fog we’ll see this winter
is lifting—ephemera
from somewhere grim, not here.

This is a green country
where the iron rule of the cold
has been broken.

Trees express themselves freely,
irrepressible sparrows
grab everything they can get,

the mud has dried up,
and all the bureaus of despair
have finally closed their doors.

(Pierruci and Son Farms, Psm. 119:12)
