Lake Alma '69

Lake Alma Hills
                              (near Weyburn, Saskatchewan, 1969

                        People are born here
					And people die

			Some live scarcely more
					Than a shadow existence

				Mere 
				Specters

			Tossed about
				In the speechless wind
					And sand that
						Sweeps across 
					
                                 The uneasy and lonely
							Beauty 
                                  Of 
			
                          Lake Alma hills
