Poetry: Out West

Out West




West of the River




West of the muddy Blue River
stands and old stone home,
that waits for us to return.






West of the old stone home
across a gravel road,
rolling hills define our valley.






West of the gravel road
atop the highest hill on a clear night,
the lights of three towns are seen.




East in the shadow of the western hills,
sets that old stone home of the glen,
a table waits for our prayers to fly,
on golden wings to the foot of Calvary.

    Far out west is where my heart was won

    next to a pickling cactus in the midday sun.

    It was a day when not a lizard stirred

    not

    by Rosana Modugno

    The sand and the sun

    are reminders of some

    Of the real men this country

    Was based on

    It is just but a page

    In a book, on a shelf
