American Summer

Poems written while traveling.

Wild Horses 


Even these stymied, powerline poles
can seem like adornments,

inarticulate but sincere,
to these plain and barren hills

with rocky crowns crumbling
on the peaks through these

narrow, breathless passes—the road
running down to dry, white lakes;

empty corrals.  Again and again,
everything is shed toward existence,

simple majesty on rock, simple majesty
on hooves, the unbroken successes.
