landscape
undulating earth
brown to rose to red
I love to walk

break through morning webs
empty arroyos
wonder how to praise
not just sky

or one heart stone
or any true love
but to give words to this

this land a table
set with honey and smoke
bowls of fallen apples
rosemary plates

deep night sky
coyotes laughing
Chamisa clusters
purple aster domes

quiet
sweet solitude
bursting
from gravel
