What say to "Appalachian Sunset" poem?

Moonstruck rust, enchanted rust

Gathering substance,

Spiraling up, descending crescendos

Spidering spells across ground

Boundaries

Of air, rock, hills, backroad towns...

Backbone ridges in

Time-tinted tin...

Sheds, webs of buckets, plows,

Wagon wheels...

Shreds, straps of harnesses

From upon-a-time mules

Dusting through rows flattened by

Sunstruck rust, twilight rust...

Passed by ritual busses, S.U.V.'s,

Cell phones speaking of hotels,

Scenery in Chattanooga.

Turkeys c**k an eye toward

Medicine robes secluding

Four-house towns,

Descending invisibility on

Kitchens of corn bread,

Gravy, pork chops.
