The Evening Light Across the Arroyo
Landscape: the hills were smoothly weathered above some black cottonwoods and many leafless willows. Across the arroyo some small houses on the bluffs— I drove while the light spread in sheets, distrusting my ability to travel this land with such ease. Some thing adhered to the adobe that caused me to wish to strike it with a cane.

I stood beside them before the new tract homes leaving the sullen beige hills to find it. back | ToC | next
