straddled the
tongue of her mess
wagon dripping with cackle
berry, went down to the little stream
to wash my smile, she spread her legs
and laughed, me thinking cackle berry was
a component of pussy, cackle berry and eggs
one in the same, "sage firebrand, your name?"

"what the deuce!
bad company coming,
yea, I'm firebrand" - I waded
the creek, her ex-washlady
poured lye in my day's plan,
said I was a missionary who
fled with money and bibles to burn,
posse notified, little chance she would
overtake me, her messengers, the chill
winds, neutral-colored badlands, quaking
aspens just beginning to turn yellow, purple lupine
a blaze of glory, I cut an armload of willow sticks, the
mess wagon departing, I caught sight of white canvass,
the cover of the mess wagon coming back toward me.

mess box
was locked,
my whiskey inside,
I tethered my horse,
pot-hooks and ovens,
"gather sheaves gleaning
after the reapers, I'd like my
whiskey and Mason please,"
I said. "missionary who saves
the children from measles," she
said, two days travel, shining light
from the Latter-Day Saints, we rode
through their village, large granary and
tallow from cattle given out in their anointings,
cattle eating consecrated hay,

pay their tithe
with foxtail hay,
plodding the road
with his plural wives
and herd,

one wife, one
driver, we fucked
on the Oregon Trail,
started a mission on
Nez Percé at Lapwai.

[Author-Poet Aberjhani]

It's always an adventure to read a Sage Sweetwater poem, story, or novel because the elements that comprise the literary art are so skillfully interwoven to creat the whole. Many would find themselves daunted by such a task but your pen does not: history, women's culture, eroticism, western culure, and personal philosophy all blend into a remarkable mesh of accomplished highly readable aestheticism.
