Easterner Out of Place in Idaho
Jennifer Bisbing
He was only sixteen
when he unloaded his rifle at Bobby’s back
The local sheriff gave him a choice
“Choose the path that let’s your daddy face the ladies at church”
He didn’t run away
Slowly walked west
till the high desert lured him in
dry hot winds triggered trauma
Bobby’s escape from the bullets
didn’t escape the Easterner’s mind
He hunted until the dead elk talked back
