The Rock


Split hoof print embedded
Some lost long eons ago

It’s a part of our story

Ties us
Binds us

The pasture trek a
Summer ritual

Rusty well water and saltines sustain

The farm’s sold now

Thank you for moving it to Lornie’s
It’s comforting/stabilizing to know it’s close at hand

Should I ever need to visit
(and I might)

Prairie oh prairie

How you call me home

Is that what’s the matter with me


I moved


Longing

Looking for home and

Longing for land that

 Owns me and

The particular smell of

Sod turned mud when

First drops of rain hit

Sun baked dust
