TheSeedCutters

They seem hundreds of years away.

Brueghel, You'll know them if I can get them true.. . .

They kneel under the hedge in a half-circle Behind a windbreak wind is breaking

through. They are the seed cutters. The tuck and frill

Of leaf-sprout is on the seed potatoes Buried under that straw. With time to kill ,

They are taking their time. Each sharp knife goes

Lazily halving each root that falls apart In the palm of the hand: a milky gleam, And, at the centre, a dark watermark.

Oh, calendar customs! Under the broom Yellowing over them, compose the frieze

With all of us there, our anonymities.
