Then Wyoming

ravens over sagebrush

share the rising air

sky and land

desperate shadows

the ins

and outs

and us

about the clouds
they are continent
shroud his total disbeliefs
earthly truths
contentments
unremembered

it is the woman seeing through his eternal sky
she gives to it freely
amidst this distance
lips slipping from her wordlessness
toe in the cold unflowing streams

he is with ricardo from long ago
ricardo with his leather hands
unheard words
worn eyes
he is from his birth
and then back to it
to the many endings
whistle of a long train
in passing conversations
