Did he cross the dry Sierras
to shape a fable Paris?
How blue it is,
the end of hilltops.
The colonists are realtors,
with fuel pumps against the sun.
With a shade in the eye,
no thrones to weight
and poems to speak.
Darker than Vesuvius,
a dearth of Caruso.
Yes, there is something bothered in the air.
A tenor between rings of the ear,
whispers underfoot across windrows.
A pioneer only second to the lore.
