Beautiful and very haunting. this is an excellent piece of poetry.
Another of my past lives catching up to me
"Buried deep somewhere upon that hill
My former body at rest, soul living inside me"

Great write...it made me think of western world back in the day. I loved how you wrote this about a past life it made the poem very affective.
The ending is my favorite:
I know I once died here
Shot dead in the dust
Living with no fear
Buried in the earths crust

What exactly were the colors of them boots, I cant get ht epicture of the poem in my head and it PISSES me off Bill!!!!!! ugh

Yeah, you're right. You should be proud of that poem. Well done. If anything, I would have liked to hear the beat of the poem end with a single line: 'Another day in deadwood'
