About Me

My photo
I recently moved back to my hometown of Vale, to live with my father who is 79. It's a small, high-desert town in Eastern Oregon, whose residents are sturdy, hard-working people with strong ties to family and deep roots in the land. Quiet and peaceful, it's a place where a man can take the time to know his own mind and bond with his dog.

'Wind River'


'Wind River' by Patrick Braniff

Ears hear
The unseen rushing
Move
Through narrow canyons
Of rustling leaves.

The guided whispers
Banked and channeled
Stir
Fields of winter wheat
And play clay chimes.

Pass this way but once.
Stand and feel
Rapids
Of throw away air
On wind-river's shore.
