Marlboro Man

Marlboro Man


Autumn's over.
Wheat cake odors flood 
the wood front porch. Andrew Block,

in mackinaw and overalls,
tamps first tobacco of the day
and estimates his morning.

In an open field
beyond McDiver's Creek
Andrew Block can see his colt,

palamino apricot and snow,
nip grass between great gallops 
and the shock of trees.
