The sea
The sea mists
into fog.
Cold beach into fog.
The grayed sun
without a sky.
Settingsun stoked
Settingsun stoked
behind the mountain.
Red-coaled and hot.
The snow pinks
into white, and night.
The Great Salt-Lake
The salt-white flat
only broken by rock—
wide and coned,
stilled in volcanic formation.
No animal, no brush.
No water,
only salt, rock.
No shade,
only salt, rock.
The wind moves freely
and the sun.
White-cut mountain
The white-cut mountain
peaked with snow,
blue-backed with sky
that fades. The black cow
sits, grazing in an open field.
Winter, snow-sloped
The knee-tucked deer
leaps tree-between.
The ground snow-covered
and hooved through.
The grassed cattle
The grassed cattle mountain-sit.
The sun shines bullhorns
and the calf dirt-kicks.
The bird beats
Thick forest.
Rain-groaning wood.
The bird beats
from branch
into cloudshadow.
