15,988. WHEN LIFE CAME TO DEATH VALLEY

WHEN LIFE CAME TO 
DEATH VALLEY 
Not the magazine, faithless one, I mean
Life itself! When people rose from their
graves and began to see. Walking past
the never amenable gateposts of Death.
Life is a charmer, you buffoon!
-
Ribbons around the lamp-post, and a
wreath of laurels hung on the door. No
place past the place you last reversed.
Death came to Death Valley first, but
then straightaway left again!
