Grey Hound
. for public domain
Ankle high, boot blacked and tightly laced nun shoes,
a faint wisp of cheap lavender perfume,
a baby's cry over a mother's shush,
moments on a bus ride across country,
traveling from soggy Fairfield, Iowa
to arid Grand Junction, Colorado
to spend the remaining years of this life
in a Grand Valley walled with cliffs' highland.
The low samplings of an American
Spirit, enduring unfulfilled promise
of a still young and rising wilderness
at the reigns of a people creating their own.
