The Llano Estacado!
……
Spectacular sustaining prairie grass!! (Perhaps with plenty of frass!)
Wanderingly, wonderingly … wonderfully painted across the landscape
Into the horizon
(A few fantastically foxy clouds illustrated above.
A soothingly smoothly gliding bird in fly-by in the sky)
……
Serene and clean dream
(But lonely in this ol’ pickup truck)
……
Feels good!!! Feels like “home”
(Nevertheless, not perfect! … Some plowed. Some planted. Some quite developed and quite artificialized. … Not perfect)
……
I AM on top of the world!!!!!!
(And now Andy & Andy have joined me in this wonderful ecological community
And erased the loneliness through the magic of electro-magnetic waves)

*Partially scribbled that last morning of September, 2023 in the Panhandle of Texas … on a torn bit of cardboard lying on the torn seat next to me in our old non-airconditioned pickup, with the windows down and wind a blowing. … And then during the development of my crude poetry about the poetry of the Llano Estacado’s dynamic homeostatic symbioses, Andy and Andy, Andy Hedges and Andy Wilkinson, appear on the local radio and join me in my travels back to one of my other homes … in south central Texas.
(The second two photos are from the Great Plains, but not of the Llano Estacado!)
