The prairie isn’t really
endless
Lives neither, just sometimes seems so
(buffaloes know both)
but songs are, TomPete’s go
like prairie seeds and tall grasses does
played over and over and again, different
played blizzardhard, sharptendered sprung,
stormpounded cathowled whole
rejuvenate, recreate, reincarnate,
these songs grow bloomsnblossoms,
‘n lifescents you haven’t met yet,
some bedrock solid,
some heaving stones forced up by heartfrosts
some shrugging shaggy sods off
like your notions you know all about,
songselves their own lifeforms,
some endangered, end-angered, stormed,
soaring feathered, fleet furred,
slithering coiled (is Truth poison?)
Original isn’t a sin
Missing this music might
Missing herds and schools and sees and nows and
what-almost-did-never-be
Prairie came from the Bottom
of the bluesblack ocean
as far as the heart can sea
