November

Chip Corwin

At 4 pm
the cornfield is
a thousand dying shadows,

and I want to say,
"Here I am,"

exposed like a robin's
nest

waiting for the wind
to turn

and return
me to the earth

Chip Corwin lives in Bloomington, Illinois and tries to write whenever his nephew's not pounding him in athletic contests. He teaches English and humanities at Heartland Community College.
