Under Prairie Skies<\/span><\/h2>\n

We make daily withdrawals from
\nour allotments of tears, hail storms,
\nstillborn children, sit staring at
\nthe Spartan silence of burial plots,<\/p>\n

remember grandfathers who spent
\ntheir days wresting land from the prairie,
\nacre by acre, who claimed it
\nwith hedgerows, section lines,<\/p>\n

cemeteries, dream that our children,
\nbuilding lives on these difficult bones,
\nwill lift their eyes to that far horizon
\nwhere stars and earth collide.
