Poems
May 2017
my field
a yellow flower
or two,
ones I can't name,
survived June's arid,
brutal assault
ant mounds abound; scorpions
aren't despondent
Timothy grasses, weeds
don't complain
always there are
mesquites
stubborn adolescents
unaware steer dung left
their ancestors here
this is not a place one
can walk barefoot
not even the Comanche
had such soles
I tried, but you
lashed out
leaving goatheads
and other burrs
in my heels
perhaps to
remind me
I bought you,
but I own
nothing
