Suffering permanent anatomical
disfigurement, nonetheless
maintaining marital bliss
at steep price despite more or less
musculoskeletal dislocation,

trends toward above average

To be a polylepis tree you gotta know 
You're a polylepis tree & this knowing 
Cements by being a polylepis tree,

A girl was walking through the night
Afraid and all alone
She sunk for moments of respite
Upon a blackened stone.

What flakes were these that sparkled bright
And flurried in the breeze?
What specks of gold did grace the night
And...

As I'm unwinding 
With the light
No longer blinding
Comes my plight
Which was residing
Out of sight
But only hiding

In the distance
I hear it creep
Though resistant
I cannot keep
As it's insistent 
That I peep
So To listen
Instead of sleep

The smoke? 
Listen
To the wind howl?

And maybe 
In the cold night
Hear a barn door
Banging away?...

Demanding for tomorrow's answers,

That is all her own
There she is dancing and spinning around

At dawn the bugle's piercin' call roused troopers for another wretched day,
Of curryin' horses, shovelin' manure, drillin', guard duty and gatherin' hay!
Another day of bellerin' sergeants and pompous officers that they must obey!

Another hidden gem
To the public, for free I give to them
In the face of business men

On top of the window stood a cross that shined
Beside a man that almost lost his mind

In 1890, cowboy Bob Womack found gold at the base of lofty Pikes Peak!
