Passion Eddy
Book two of impromptu trilogy.
World Party
The hills are a smoothly-weathered landscape; dullard brown, rising behind town and running past it and down to the river. We watch it with distraction and a bonfire among the gathered trucks and ephemeral tumbleweeds. The green is the river flowing. Some willows soften the arroyo as it wanders through the mission canyon and the jockeying headlights—and then, in the blackness beyond the railroad trestle, it disappears. Not much is revealed by the two, stoned and whirling dancers: you're sitting on the tailgate of a small truck listening to what might be another beat to your life... certainly not adobe or something you might have heard on the way to work. back | ToC | next
