ut innocent of intent<br />

thighs astride the base<br />

our dance nearly spent<br />

I tango my partner<br />

into the ground.<br />

The chamisa<br />

and Russian sage<br />

I visit each sunrise<br />

look a child’s age<br />

I sing to them<br />

as they battle<br />

wind and sun<br />

promise rains<br />

past due will come<br />

remind how<br />

ancient deeds<br />

hardened seed<br />

for waterless times<br />

make up rhymes<br />

songs of the soil-slayer<br />

subduing earth<br />

with staff taming<br />

the high plains dirt.<br />
