LOBO
by William Childress
The winter I turned sixteen,
Wolves dropped down from the Wichita hills
And slaughtered cattle for miles around.
I heard of the great three-toed Lobo
Who had left tracks in the snowy ground
Of Beaver Creek, near one of his kills.
No one had ever seen him. His tracks
Alone convinced the superstitious
That he was not a ghost. Farmers cursed
Their ill-fortune and the grey wolfpacks,
And set traps to no avail. When Spring
Arrived, I left home, feeling nothing.
Whatever hold the red dirt hills had
Was broken. I could not feel where there
Was nothing to be felt. I had known
The family cave too long, I could
Not stay. There were things to be seen,
To be killed, eaten, and not shared.
YOU WILL KNOW THEM
by Ollie Simpson
Look to the orchard tree's, they said,
Any autumn day will show
Bad fruit cannot come from good.
With such a guide you'd think I'd know
How to proceed in building friendships,
And yet I've misjudged everyone.
And if I had been Isaac's neighbor
I would have hunted with his son
Only to learn that evilness
Was Esau's mark, that one goat skin
Fitted to Jacob's smoother skin
Was all he needed to assume
A blessing that would part the two,
Nourished and born from the same good womb.
