NAMIBIA

NAMIBIA

wild west land
holster in the hip of Africa
strung on the studded belt of Capricorn.

the sun lassoos the rain
tugged from the bare backed land
the rocks crack in pistol shots.

yet on a sparse frontier
crossed freely, are
the cattle of the heart.

NAMIBIA

wild west land
holster in the hip of Africa
strung on the studded belt of Capricorn.

the sun lassoos the rain
tugged from the bare backed land
the rocks crack in pistol shots.

yet on a sparse frontier
crossed freely, are
the cattle of the heart.
