Drought

Tumbleweed rolling,
skimming arid, ochre dust,
lifting teepee canvas,
clinging to iron and rust.

Blue sky into eternity
covers an eagle on the wing
sweeping winds blow east to west
drought in earnest brings.

Fences stand in lonely place, 
plough bows to scorching sun,
winds of change echo far and wide,
bleached bones from some man's gun

Hours pass in stoney silence,
except for bison's hooves
imprisoned on long past wind
alongside dead man's shoes.


Please tell me what you think
