A fact of life is
that ranchers
are land rich and cash poor.
So when the
baby boy asked
for his inheritance,
the Father had
to place a parcel
of the homestead
on the market
to make it happen.
And after the sale,
the Law abiding brother
dutifully pulled
the fence and barb wire
from the old property line
and started to place the new
boundaries of the estate.
And with each post
he pounded into place,
he imagined his
departed brother
nailing someone
in a distant land.
