out here the land
speaks in Quaker silence
fertile soil enfolds
the nourished seed
like a feral lover
the wind & rain
bequeath their song
the sun too draws
into the quiet story
of germ, generation
bittersweet and sweet
times of harvest.
Ed Higgins' poems and short fiction have appeared in Pindeldyboz, Mannequin Envy, Word Riot, Otoliths, Tatto Highway and qarrtsiluni, among others, as well as in a variety of print journals. He teaches creative writing and literature at George Fox University, south of Portland, OR.
