A date with death <br />On the high Wyoming plains <br />Premonition in dreams, <br />December when the ground lay bare <br />And sunlight shone golden <br />On vast windy rangelands, <br />Out of Rock Springs <br />Ominous snowclouds gather to the North <br />Sioux death-rattles in the bottom of the mind- <br />The pickup out of gas <br />Miles down some wrong turn <br />Where the road ends <br />Under swaying cottonwoods<br /><br />Craig Steiger<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-date-with-death/
