Other Days Blue Sky - Missoula, Montana

"...Other days from ridge to ridge
there’s only a high, dry, guileless blue,
and you can fairly hear
the meadow grass breathe. You could say,

I have lived well. You could say, I have lived
well and anyway been troubled. You could say, 

Come evening,
deer browse the meadow fringe."

-From BACK FORTY: MANIFESTO by Joe Wilkins
