big red truck green grasswhite farmhouse
cutting between the hills a robin’s-egg bluea man must lean on his liquor
getting through the prayer linewalking fields with all colors
flaring soft or fired with hard lightthe walnut shell his face is
the tan smeared greasy eyesa mature man out of time
behind that pretty wanderingthrough shreds of veiling clouds
beyond the altitudesa whole empty country
tough cut grass hard brown bootsbigger sky each swallow
