Dim Lanes, Open Space
Dim Lanes, Open Space is a collection of deep prose based on Texas'
frontier days and the gunslingers who gained notoriety in this arena.
More than insight into history, Carlton's profundity elicits perception
about the inner workings of us all.

From "Brazos Bob's Lament":
The dead tree
with that one limb
perfect for the noose.
One tinny piano. Unseen.
The dream of liquor. Elsewhere.
The click of a cocking pistol. Now.
One suddenly dead rattler.

silently, without effort.
never occurs to us.
We still fancy ourselves outlaws,
dangerous men.
The portents surround us.
Someone plays a harmonica.
Someone else rolls a smoke.
and a showdown that never comes.
