John Tipton: Chinati (for DJ (because he wanted to know))

welcome to Texas, Devin Johnston
a windmill has your name
stubborn & American at off-rhyme
to the arroyo-creased angular region
here bald redheaded buzzards eat
a rabbit struck by what
it only understood as supernatural
the birds bring to mind
black grasshoppers that broke clacking
into red-winged & rasping darts
& even as we drive
secular sunlight polishes aluminum slantwise
