I thought words arrived
as if breathing were easy.
Books fooled my young eyes.
Now I know better.
Stories take patient years.
Unfinished, waiting.
I revise and stay,
asking what belongs on page.
The page asks again.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
