Westfälische landschaft

Patchwork fields of vibrant yellow
shouting at the glowering sky
“Look at me!!
I do not reflect you as the dull water of the river there.
I have a life of my own – my own accord…”
The sky answered not.
It looked darkly back, and withheld the rain.
“I will make that field think again” –
thought the sky,
And glowered darkly on into the night.
