The prima facie 

      Of Nostalgia

          In piles of books

        And old face masks

Strewn whiskey bottles 

     And upended ashtrays

   Boxes of ancestors tools

   A giant wood reaper 

      Bladeless now

     From the great Midwest 

  Shores of Wisconsin 

    Forests and fields 

Lakes and streams

  Barns with rusting tractors

      Hiding in the heat

          Beneath a memory

     Of green beans and tomatoes
