of rice and men

stick in the mud-
upright, slightly swaying-
to time's dictates
slightly obeying-
and with season's fullness
miserly paying.

man in the mud-
hunched accumulated years-
under crop's burden;
dirty fingers picking ears.
downcast eyes that must remain unspent
or salt the paddies with countless tears.
