Analysis of Colorado
I love it so
but stay away …
the mountains
prairies and streams
Each morning
the magic unveiling again
each night
a sky covered in dreams
I love it so
but stay away …
the cry of the wolf
in the snow
A warning to transients
skimming the top
of a landscape
— they’re never to know
(Leadville Colorado: March, 2021)
