A Field of Blue – v2

As far as the eye could see

A subtle blue hue, a patina

Overwhelming the brown,

And the dark green

Fields and fields, ablaze

Of wild blueberries, pregnant

Ripe, ready for the harvest

For the hands, the backs, the sweat

Of the migrant pickers, the workers

An ultimate example of piecework

A denim blue before the light blue

Of that August sky
