Hunt, 1831
by Joanne Lowery
|
Jeremiah rode out to hunt antelope
along the Santa Fe Trail
and ended up dead.
Black Feather rode out to hunt antelope
in what is now western Kansas
and ended up dead.
What is the I.Q. of an antelope?
If only a human can contemplate
its future death,
why do antelope run?
The rising moon skidded to a stop
above the running antelope.
It leaped over two limbed logs
of differing colors. The antelope
had the same thoughts as the moon.
See the moon light the antelope
for future guns and disappearing arrows.
See Diana pull her bow
across the historical sky.
