The Pointless Nether Plow
It is farming in an inclement sun system
like a powerless nether beast
fallen amidst random stellar debris
fruit changes form
light then quavers across distorted mural relics
the farmer then living as a clarified adder
his land forms compressed
his wheat suspended & flaring
his unstable forms
carving his soil with volcanic blue seeds
