Escapism

Love the West
as it’s painted.

The wind off the prairie,
the wind off the face of Crazy Horse.

The long false memory of lone wolves
under quarter-sky moons.

Movie, movie, movie.
Pulp book footing at the ford of a shallow stream.

Dirt main streets and families
stoic as props.

Something to rely on
when the spirit’s down

and that howl is a wolf
at the door.
