Peshasta a.k.a. Peshastin, WA

Peshasta


On the edge of green,
hills rise dun-hued above Peshasta,
wide spot in the road that splits
the apple orchards' core.
Were it not for wells and streams
these too would vanish like the ghosts
of sagebrush that now dot forgotten plots,
worn by wind, their dreams
of wealth obliterated.
Among the apples glowing green
there wends a wide spot in the path:
Peshasta.

I swear I saw signs that said Peshasta, but can only find the spelling Peshastin on line. New/old spellings? It is in Chelan County between Leavenworth and Wenatchee.

Me:

I feel better than yesterday. But still .

My sister liked the poem I wrote about her granddaughter and posted a few days ago. She wants me to do a hand-written copy on parchment ...

The edited version can be reviewed at: "La Bella Vita"  and pays 1,000 gps for a limited time.

The poem for her husband though needs reworking.

IMAGES:

Water gurgling through the ditch; a flock of seagulls, wings back-lit; two hawks soaring low. A flicker with a seed in its jaws; a startled sparrow. Puddles drying to mud to dust.
