Neath Pits And Stems

Neath pits and stems of turnips
and mountains of pumpkins  
though I have forgotten  
and then some
who is picking night bones  
and which side to sleep on  
when saying my prayers  
sliding down the stairs
as the crickets violin and dance    
whispering in my ear  
beware of snapping turtles  
weaving cat cradles    
neath pits and stems of turnips
Written by adagio
