Jerome, an old copper mining town.

Jerome

.

Nearby Jerome copper mines

turned the grassy meadow brassy

to the taste of a bleak landscape

lowering from ancestral Pueblos’ mazes.

.

Toward the hills of a glistening J

the lights of Jerome draw

day-time travelers to sit sipping beer

from the balcony of an old Asylum.

.

Turquoise infused Juniper wood

lies in the precious glassed galleries

where the locals tell time on spring-loaded clocks

bouncing from ‘8’ balls

anything to tell us what the sun is doing.

.

The town joy engulfed with the most experimental

and expressive of arts, for a conservative

valley of straight-laced thinkers.
