Nov 25
tall prairie grasses
wind whipped, without lament

bison bones,
now soul wedded with soil

wagon wheel ruts
petrified with time, tracks

followed like words on the page
no scent of the sojourners' saga
remains

for mongrel dogs that hunt
or 21st century two legged creatures

who cruise control across mouthless lands
that once spoke of promise
