Montana

Wealth of Montana hills

Grey-ribbon roads stray-dog chase winding grass-snake streams.

Ranch hands with copper skin

Old men in cowboy shirts,

Worn boots, denim jeans.

Houses and barns

Tiny in valley vistas

Cows and horses

Plastic toys that move.

Evergreen mountains

Trees upon trees

Roadside bright,

Far horizon, faded black;

Then,

Deep ocean, white studded,

Pacific BLUE.
