diamond embedded once before & always (Free verse) by A. Nomaly
cattle all rounded up by horse and dog
Colorado high mountain season privilege
ordained by National Park. Here we
are Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, Me, Guide,
collected, tented, camped, sleeping
in cots, breakfasts of pancakes,
solar showers, stingy flakes of far
away snow, ping-panged with no sound,
just construction, shored up banks,
sleep covered, smile shaped and laughing,
hand over hand, long coat waisted and
flung over shoulder, waits at bus stop
so not to attract attention, given over to
one casting wish and simple pleading
of course. You may want this someday,
until then I will take everything else.
