Description

A short typewritten poem on thin onionskin paper. It is titled, "Dry Ditches" by W. C. P. [Parcher]. Someone, possibly the author, has added "Owens River Valley, 1930" in black ink. Dry Ditches Dry ditches in a bleaching land, A broken pane, A swinging door, And out upon the withered field, Where once blue blossoms nodded in the sun, A rusted plow, deep furrowed in the crusted sand.
