Amarillo Rose the Stone

Amarillo Rose and the Stone
part eight

gray sky wind burned
blow a chilling cold
against pueblo rubbled rock
time ran out on the clock

wagon's reins slapped
mules trot in ryhme
one glimpse back
at the head stone's sign

Wild flowers scattered
from weeks of piled up gatherings
multitude of sympothy
or learned at surprised babblings

a fresh laid long stem
of bright bright yellow
rocked in the wind on new rock
rose above mounded dirt's steep drop

gentleman's tear wiped eyes
wagon rolls over the rise
cold wind blows a stone
distant wolf lets out a 'howeling moan'

one spanish angel
carved on granite
Letters: AMARILLO ROSE
written bold.

badland's oasis
for many a man
memories in all a glora'
of the threshold of Lady Laura's
