Strawberry Fields
by estory
|
This is a poem about escaping the commercially organized, scheduled life, the stores and the delivery systems, and the longing we have for a connection to the past, the land and the climate and the weather, that seems lost today. The strawberry fields out on Long Island are almost gone now, here in North Carolina they are disappearing. With every farm going up for sale, every housing development going up, we seem to be losing the connection with this past, the agricultural way of life in our history, and the skills we used to have to grow our own food. estory
