Desert Dessert
Posted: July 5th, 2009, 8:03 pm
in red rock country
utah is a planet
a state of being
an altar
out on a limb
a desert sonata
a rugged vignette
nature's triumphant palette
ephemeral ink
the modus operandi
of a tapered brush dipped
in the bed of a creek
the coolness of shadow
the wetness of grains
of lucid sand
the skeletons of travelers
the sustenance of dreams
a delicate stoned arch
over shifting plates
the forks and knives
of towering cumulus imagination
place mats of inspiration
laid out for a bounty of awe
atop a tricked-out moabian table
