View of Grand Coulee from the Hospital

trees and lines and stickmen and boulders too big to be less than

a hill heavy rock a motel {sigh}

a main street see the middle school from here and a parts store nearly

the library and a grocery store below in the midway

and a park with boulders taller than 5 men where quail live

and deer play but no dogs are allowed and they have swings

and a merry-go-round and it’s almost summer the thrift

store will have summer clothes this week and this is where the turkeys

go and they have teeter-totters and a slide and still no dogs

every place comes with a view of canyons and dams and lakes

on the bottom and rock walls making their own special rooms

protected channeled full of spirit wind they build

around boulders they climb them/you can’t eat rocks
