on nebraska


stretched thin the heard cliffs
                  there is nothing too tall here
                  but fall a few feet
                  on the prairie enough to break               
wise a fluff around she necks me w skins
i am from ever
                  lincoln, adams, monroe, prague,
        gering, the farm
we discovered that rich soil
                          won't hold growth
                          w all the damn howling
       you speak as
            i am not already gone
                           say go
                           but i can't hear you from this far away
