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.

Uncle leads
past antiquated
threshers.
I trail behind, step-in-step,
wind baths my face
sparrows whistling,
to the farthest, littlest evergreen
shelter-belt pivot.
Pulls grass,
gives attention,
says nothing.
Our offer complete, we turn
back from the vulnerable
edge of the farm,
where it drops off
into the vast prairie sky
