How to Get There from Here Follow the tumbleweeds down washboard roads. Elbow through bunch grass and head for the tulees where fields lie broken open. Men and women tough as strung barbed wire. Children tired of playing. Only tarpaper forgives mistakes. No birds left. Miles of silos emptied even after DDT fractured every speckled shell. Allen Braden, Puyallup

How to Get There from Here

Follow the tumbleweeds
down washboard roads.
Elbow through bunch grass
and head for the tulees

where fields lie broken open.
Men and women tough
as strung barbed wire.
Children tired of playing.

Only tarpaper forgives mistakes.
No birds left. Miles of silos
emptied even after DDT
fractured every speckled shell.

Allen Braden
