My Alberta

My Alberta is rolling hills.
The lone coyote in the field stalking a calf.
A great wheat ocean, hawks surfing, fishing for mice.
Old car graveyards sitting on lost plots of land.
The Long horns, Black Angus, and barbed wire fences.
Riding off into the sunset.
Wranglers and white Stetsons riding the great mechanical bull.
A tired church, wash tub dreams abandoned.
Tumble weeds, black-eyed susans, unlikely lakes, and hidden waterfalls.
A torrent of wind blowing you in a different direction, as it simultaneously pulls you back.
