Few things are more nostalgic - or whimsical - than visiting a childhood swingset.




Sheep Crossing

How do you tell the difference between a Montanan and a tourist? Simple. Tourists pull over on the side of the road to gawk at herds of grazing big horn sheep. Natives speed by and honk in annoyance.

That the ending would be written before that end would start

Rain

Snow

Rain


Reprieve.


Cold is the sole Spring funeral.

And time?

(never enough)


And love?

(you couldn't)



So you turn out the lights.

(and I'll

feign

sleep).
