Prop Model
Settlements or colonies
Past the mountain ravine
In plains and meadows
Of rolling hills
Like French countryside
Homesteads
And windmills
Scarcely a tree
Or running river
Or life visibly
Walking in the country
Docile
Gliding through the plains
In a behemoth
Of a zeppelin
An airship’s
Droning buzz of propellers
A giant rolling in
The cloudless current skies
From the canyon towns
Perched in the walls
Of the grand ravine
Who’s bars and boardwalks
Were so lively
Props of an airship passed
The red ravine walls
And into green model plains
Of a delicate countryside
Serenely above
Cobblestone homes
And farmland tracts
Drifting with its
Skeletal frame beneath
Khaki tarp
With cars below
The balloon
To steer and house
Any crew
From the ravine town
Looking from on high
At quaint shingled roofs
Props buzzing
Above the models
Beautifully unspoiled countryside
