Where Are You From?
I’m from
Byemoor – no – that’s a town.
From a farm, near
Gough Lake.
Okay. An alkaline
slough bottom.
How much land?
Seems like
a big number
but everything’s relative,
even home.
I come from as much land as a man can farm
singularly with occasional help
in busy seasons.

I love the definition of place portrayed in this piece. Nice.
Nicely done.
