Carl Sandburg - Rusty CrimsonCarl Sandburg - Rusty Crimson
Work rating: Low


(Chirstmas Day, 1917)THE FIVE O`CLOCK prairie sunset is a strong man going to sleep after a long day in a cornfield.   The red dust of a rusty crimson is fixed with two fingers of lavender.

Moonlight comes on the stubble.   "Jesus in an Illinois barn early this morning, the baby Jesus ... in flannels ..."
