Now the Seven Sisters rise glittering out of your spent veins. Everything has gone to ruin here--the miners' old pickaxes notch the windflowers, ring hard in our hollows. And in the cemeteries of Mt. Pisgah, the whores of the old bordellos swing their tattered skirts like wild aster, and the longhorns cripple. The men of old wars stump their wooden peg legs across streets once paved in gold. They carry their metal hooks like lost hands, like slivered coins. . . --from To The Lost Burros of Cripple Creek Mine |
