Osage trails westward, snowdrifts bridle high. Cattle graze on open range- sunsets thrill the eyes.
Jackrabbit dust on honeysuckle bloom, scissor-tails snip the air. Rattlers turn you on your heels- to face a prairie sky.
Illinois son in old “Cow Town”, Gallatin to Montgomery. Coffee, Lane, Ole John Brown- along the Verdigris.
Death Alley to Death Valley, Onion Creek- eternity. Deer lie down on Buffalo Grass- I lie down at peace. |
