on the way home (road hazard)
no crossing guard to keep them
from the windy blind corners at Minam
across the Wallowa River, half a dozen
more trudge down the empty rail tracks
there is no cell service in this steep
deep gouge, so pull off at Water Canyon
inquire, set cowboys in motion again:
and that’s today’s deed, for good or ill -
for four Charolais have crossed the bridge
