COALINGA
The toil of a hundred years never
shamed the man who killed his kin:
Some rifleman on the edge of
California, shooting high from
the Eastern foothills of the Diablo
Range. Oilmen, Miners, diggers,
and campstove tenders, like chasing
jackals from the mess-tent fabric.
It was a life for the harsh -
often short too.
