earth note 709


rolling hills and reservoirs
unraveling near the kansas-nebraska line
coming apart in blue-green algae
we pitched the tent
but stayed away from the water
the cattle & fertilizer runoff
the summer heat working
like a petri dish
growing out of its boundaries
finding a dirt road flanking north
escape to the first town in nebraska
with fresh water
coffee & eggs
