A chapter in the book Carolina Pastorals
Land pt. 4; Requiem

This the final part of my four part series, Land. In this section, the individual is lost in the communal, the sense of self pales in the wider scheme of things, and we have to humbly take our place in the Earth from which we came. But there is also a peace in it. A peace of those fields, those beautiful plants still growing, and the new generations taking the place of the old. There is a resurrection in it. A transfiguration. This is what I wanted to articulate in this last part of the poem. estory
