two houses at the foothill
the railroad runs along the river
peaceful hamlet

passing through the town
oil smell scratches the throat
not gold but trees heal it

about interracial marriage 
he says he doesn't understand
she says if you do, you do

summer green
spring green matured
what must be done?

widen the mind
with green miles of prairie
why the gray sky?
