Valley Giant
That hillside here in the valley
with soil erosion looks like
the Giant gauged it out
with four fingers,
quite unhappy with
the crop dusting planes.
That last go-round
got him so choked up with
crop dust, plus tripping on
a whole stack of irrigation pipes
sent him landing the valley down
ten feet deeper.
You can see where the farmers
have dragged his body away,
and that last rain has left
a shallow lake.
