The remembered,

 and the disappearing.

Inglis, Manitoba,
and along a closed railway spur line, west of Saskatoon.

A small slough,
where water collects and no ploughs intrude,

the birds have gained their foot hold,
in the Prairie industrial landscape.

The appeal for me,
of the prairie landscape,

is that every object,
every building
and growing thing,
has a significance beyond what actually is.

A yellow tree...

Churned earth and the setting sun,

West of Drumheller, Alberta.

Setting sun,
air thick with harvest waste,
pounding thunder.

Great machines,
duel like tanks,
capturing the bounty,
before the next rain,
and frost
closes the gate.
