American Summer

Poems written while traveling.

Untitled (Nevada) 


Desert clinging like patina to these hills,
distant sagebrush more like a hide.  The delicate

features of this great expanse are uneventful.
Range fence rises above the sagebrush; the dwarf

powerlines; the rocky saddle of an exposed ridge—
exchanges are few as the interstate races through:

a raven on the shoulder, the inimitable and
untamed waves of ranges, an occasional road-kill.
