Illustration for THE RECORDERS by Evan Reynolds THE FRONTIER A MAGAZINE OF THE NORTHWEST “The frontiers are not east or west, north or south, hut wherever a man fronts a fact."—T horeau. The Recorders By Joe Hare Some are black and some are gray, and all Are dead. They line the ridges, erect or bent Above successors unaware that seed Of pines, mislaid in soil that’s rich enough To germinate and nourish, will start young trees Susceptible to three— the sun, the rain And air. Three which, combining, will inveigle Them to growths the soil cannot support. All are dead, but death is versatile. As fire in fall will scorch a sapless bark And leave black stumps of pitch.
