YouYou are powerful.
You have the mountains
as your strength,
and the wind

Everything was equal.
Only whispers in the wind.
To gaze now and then.

What’s sadder? The memories or the people?
Which leaves the deeper, lasting scar?

their vastness like a painted dream;
the prairies flush, the prairies grow,

with rows of wheat, and corn, and feed;
the prairies dip,...

another berm squares off the back,

sits just short of two hundred yards,
I squeeze...

Joanie Come EarlyEveryone called Joanna Wilde, Joanie, like an abbreviated crescent moon,
Of which she was much enamored, with its silky, maroon darkness tunes.

Rousing replies risen bound by chains
Lest mercy be tallowed by all frays
Lest my cheek rise by an untimely hour
Rid my face of discoloured honour
Until it...
