On the long walk home thoughts stride long & crankily
The antelope are swaying
to the song of the buffalo groaning,
old buffalo moaning,
as the heat
beats
down
like a hammer!
The lay of the land is like a frying pan
as the heat
beats
down
like a hammer!
Molecular excitement
means nourishment
The orchestrations of biochemistry
are eloquent
Still the heat
beats
down
like a hammer!
On the prairie floor the insects roar!
The nights were cool...
(Oh, the nights were cruel!)
...but the days were hot
The days were hot!
On the
long
walk
home
