English term or phrase: sawbone (ridges)
Tot o poezie, știu că sawbone în slang înseamnă chirurg, totuși mă gândesc să nu aibă alt sens aici.

"All day thunder was bellyaching along
the *sawbone ridges* the Jews call hills
making the roads as surly as mules
and the walls electric to the touch:
and when it came, the thunder that is,
it was fit to crack open stones...
Mulțumesc frumos !
