Harvest

by Daniel Romo

1. A farmhouse is born from a weathervane and a tornado originates from the

northernmost tip of burgeoning earth. 2. The calm before the swirl is known as

Hush, little baby. Don’t say a word. 3. Not all dots are destined to be connected but

assigning numerals to unwritten laws of the land is what our forefathers always

dreamed of. 4. The proudest papas cross their arms while assessing the damage

masked as patting their own backs. 5. In times of trial, there are tribulations to

complement the left-behind mess. 2b. A mockingbird represents a dad’s purchase

towards his child’s reassurance. 1b. A twister is a thunderstorm longing to be tamed.

2c. Even the shiniest diamond ring bought by a father for his daughter can’t compete

with the glow of a constellation composed of periods of rest followed by

redemption.
