American Summer

Poems written while traveling.

Monument 


Sun setting against my back,
moon lifting above the mesas,

wind, wind and monument, monument and
light.  I am enamored of the brush,

shining, down in the umbra:
how they hold their grace and their

infathomable color—living, alone,
in the desert sands.  I see tourists

strolling down the eroding strands
like gaudy, evening flowers.
