The "Loess Hills" Poetry from the book {Prometheus Lives} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

"16 days Backpacking in the Loess Hills"

The coyotes called in the night

Butterflies fight to lick the sun tan lotion off my arms

The ants will carry you away

Don't feel sorry for the man who's made of steel and sweat

Stripped naked of all her wares

I need you when I'm dreaming

I wake into a fools game

She drenches me with coffee and gin

The lady bug rides on my boot

They have planted something new

I have always cared for you

The removal of clothing in the night

A white horse comes into camp

I ride as a ghost in the gale

The sheperds never sleep, they seem to wait for me

The trees live on a seascape of rolling waves of loess soil

Never mind the end, where is the beginning

They fix cars, they disc fields

Where do I fit in.

Poetry from the book {Prometheus Lives} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas
