The Territory

in the Old West

territory a name

of the uncharted

a resistance to order..

Old Colorado City

capital for only

five days.. 

 territory reasserted..

in our imagination 

territory encloses both

danger and freedom..

these lurking together

sharpen senses

energies renewed..

we need examine

where we are 

standing just now..

is this the territory

 we must become...?
