Listen to poem:

Tethered To the Llano Estacado

Tethered To the Llano Estacado
David J Walker

The red thicked dust 
Replaced the air we breathed 

With floating rust
In shrouds bequeathed in 

The Earth’s crust 
Flying by 

Higher than the clouds
Blocking out the sun

It is the price you will pay
If you are going to stay

Tethered to  the 
Llano Estacado
