This story poem speaks to the friendship between two different cultures . Two women of the west who cross the color barriers of the time .
They stood shoulder to shoulder on the dusty land one the color of dark molasses-the other a shade of Pacific sand their families lived side by side beneath the mountains white they rode the buggy into town dug up dishes & arrowheads from the barren ground true friends beneath their white & brown hued skin the world seemed far away kept at bay never to be let in bright differences painted soft beneath that big sierra sky she was moccasins & braided hair while the other was collared shirts & piercing eyes there would come a day when they would walk Wide paths apart down the narrow Inyo lane Still they would remember the season of the young innocents the outer banks had not yet claimed Po

So lyrical and so hopeful except for the parting near the end. Hopefully, it is a true story. If not, I think it will speak loudly for what should be true.

A beautiful start that seems to be deliberately unfinished.
I would love to read more. Methinks we have a talented
story teller poet in our midst. We need to read more from
you, dear lady.
