Recently, folks have been asking me, what is Kansas like? For those of you who haven't been, or read of it before, please, enjoy.

Kansas

dead centered of north, east
south and west
she lies in wait

a lady in recline
bellybutton hidden by
Smoky Hills, she waits

to reveal mysteries
of curves and valleys,
hills and
flat lands, she waits

to beguile you with lush
green grasses waving you
to come soon
to her full skies skirted with
clouds, dancing,

she does not give you deserts,
but reminds you of them,
nor does she give you
mountains’ peak,
but takes you to them

she holds secreted myriad
blue pools and hide-away falls
letting wonders show
why mushroom rocks grow
or why her skies
mesmerize,

she’s a kaleidoscope,
see her twirl on
contrails that
write from east to west
and back again,
stare north,
feel Canada come
on the wind,
gaze south, smell
the gulf breeze bring gulls

she whispers to you
through
cottonwood memories

bloodlines course
through grasses glistening
with golden hair…

she calls the man home,
he comes,
often,
standing under her blue,
over her green,
breathes her in like
liquid sun, she,
making him shiver
with a wave of breeze
sweats him out
easily, so much
in quiet awe, he holds her
in reverence
and with faith…

she’s a lady in recline,
come skirt her memories,
dust yourself with
yesterday
and
find yourself, again

Martin, she is a body breathing. Nothing like I've ever seen. However, I've not seen it all, yet.

Enchantress, you know that you and Wiz are welcome, anytime. Come, let us show you what we have here. Just let me know which month - you might want to stay home!
