Nothing to obstruct the eye for miles.
On that day, and in that age,
the land was flat and bald contrasting against
a mass of sky-blue backdrop.
America. The Great Plains.
Six million hides roamed a century ago
gently grazing blue green grassland waves
until Dodge City,
and all you saw was blood everywhere, and all you heard
were buffalo huffing their dying breaths.
