Rainy mornings in your arms
the sky a purple bruise
cedar fire under blacken coffee pot
ponderosa pine & blue spruce shadows
velvet slopes & valleys
Anasazi ghosts dance above
crumbled adobe & stone kivas
shards of fading pottery
basalt flint arrowheads
Elk antlers locked
in battles never finished
skeletons bleached sun white
Streams sing to rocks naked
red dogwoods blush while cutthroat
trout wait for dragonflies.
