Somewhere you have never been

the land stretches far and flat

it's a dry yellow full of potential

for spring, flattened by a heavy 

blanket of snow, now melted

Apples soggy and full of holes

rot in the damp ditches

smelling sickly sweet

The sky is a gentle blue

and the sun weak

Here, in the unlikeliness of places

her heart sang, a song full of longing

and the pleasure of an unknown fortitude

The flattened fields are nourished by 

her tears and her heart blooms with satisfaction
