Robert Redford and Sage Sweetwater Whisper to the Horse

burning bridges
point of no return
destruction carried heavy upon eagle wings

~

soaring utensils
break the kettles
fording the river catching a rainbow fish

~

black char
smells of today's decay
sky melts the singer's psalm

~

tracks laid down
pulled up earth turntables
mix of soot heavy with greed reverb

~

town gossip exceeds odometer
when will they learn mileage is cheap
and what we taught rubs off gold like velvet on elk antlers

~

sinners vault uniformed guards
detention for a high price to pay
while they struggle with truth the bear hibernates stored fat penance

~

election of a president
separating church and state
robert redford and sage sweetwater whisper to the horse
