hard red wheat: redux





















drought, dry weeds
in every sign and billboard
a bullet hole


pheasant chicks in columns
march into the grass

























the yearling's death cry
stilled with a penknife -
the only day it rained

curlews choose flight
over Blacktail Dam


























pronghorn antelope
plunging across the road
hard, red wheat

a dust trail rises
above the horizon
