Robert Coleman Trussell

Flat horizon. Big sky. Blast-furnace summers. Gray winters. Grass burrs. Bad football. Shiner Bock. Old Fitzgerald's 1849. Bugler tobacco. Runaways. Refugees. Desperate men crazy in love. Men with guns. Cotton fields. Migrant workers. Eighteenth and Vine. Martin guitars. Marine band harmonicas. Love among the ruins. Packed bags. Waiting room blues.
