Colorado

I love it so 
but stay away …
the mountains
prairies and streams

Each morning
the magic unveiling again
each night
a sky covered in dreams

I love it so 
but stay away …
the cry of the wolf
in the snow

A warning to transients 
skimming the top
of a landscape
— they’re never to know

(Leadville Colorado: March, 2021)
