Desert Spring Break
I didn’t know the desert
It was unusual to go without a boat
Because my father loved the water
But we came with tents and my aunt
I didn’t know the desert
Just what I saw
When Attenborough talked
And showed animals from far away
I didn’t know the desert
But something seemed to burst
Suddenly seeing the mountains
That trapped dragons in their ridgelines
I wanted to know the desert
High in the basin for a cold night
Camped by low cottonwood
Running hard on a canyon trail
I was in love with the desert
And cried that it was just one week

The Straight-Shooter
He’d slap his knee and grin a possum smile
whenever we bought the beer and he’d say
“we’d ’ve called you straight-shooters
back them days.” And the beer would trigger
another flow of Pancho Villa tales.
This old greyed man
had ridden with Pershing in those
West Texas campaigns
searching for the last
visions of the frontier
now a paragraph in history.
But Pancho Villa still road
a dusty trail when the beer
flowed and this old grey man
remembered cavalry straight-shooters.
