Where legends begin

working late
a field hand
sharpens his scythe
on the moon

it is bright stone
in his palm
burning from inside
with cold fire

low enough in the sky
to be reached
through the fence
then rehung on a wire

he wipes his wet brow
grips the haft
and swings crescent
swathes through the grass
