TYLER MACKO
“Those iron trees and I are the same” - Leonard Knight, creator of Salvation Mountain
heirlooms imbibed in oil
small cross of chicken bone
wedded to the work of vision
the ferric hand softens
to the skin of an orange
possessed for a time
with a sense of animism
radiant splashes of light
thrown down on orchards
and beneath this scarecrow
another scarecrow
smaller in stature but
no less real
in its lilting song
that catches and snags on the breeze
-Willie Young
