in - Federal are paid so little that they struggle to survive (with some living in their cars), a doctor in includes supplies for as something they need while factions fight it out, and a cold is killing Bovine calves as ranchers race to save them.

Child dangles, crying.
Say, “There is no god, but God!”
No way to save him.

Child dangles, crying.
Man, “…There is no god, but God!…”
No way to save him.

The inspiration for the haiku.
NPR’s Leila Fadel does not dwell on this, but the exchange between the condemned boy trapped above and the man on the ground, will stay with me for a long time. I’m crying, because I feel as helpless as the man trying to comfort the boy.
