Road to Hatheume

pale clouds at the summit water color sky cattle guard at wood bridge creek bed running dry split log fence downtrodden razor back in wire sinkhole on the wild plain grouse fields under fire pine bug and a lone wolf clear cut on the trail stump lake on the open range kettle valley rail raven on the hatheume slash and burn and scar blasted church in a tired sun wild rose under char thistle in the hollow quails nest sitting high carriage house at lone rock curtains of july smoke jaw in the canyon percolator dream silver sage in chapel schneider's requiem stockmen on the wrangle big horn antler chase table top at sunset deacon creek in grace quarry in a furry lines of tinted red spurs and blades and columns patchwork of the dead past the bow hill junction cattle ropes are black indian amphitheater saddle on the rack sun is at a high bake sedimentary stone three days on the morphine skeleton and bone cold water road is lonely corrals are cut and paste gone but not forgotten the dust filled aftertaste
