The bitch that bore him is in heat

My last work, completed during my last furlough. “The end of the graveyard”. The crew of a “midnight goat” on the old Milwaukee road late March, 1941. Everything still brown and grey, but the first warm breeze of spring. New hire, old field hand, old engineer asleep in the sun. Lived it.
