divides
shadowed farmhouse from red setting sun
parts that which was sold--
hay-fields where house-trailers for migrants now rust
creek-beds and knolls foraged for mushrooms
it severs
the oiled dirt road still traveled in dreams
the sand-blow where a lone tree towered--
the maple I climbed as a boy
to name with a jack-knife
my first true love
