In Alpine, Texas Seasons Greetings
The locals, with greatest care,
curry their stallions and their mares, The desert
travels in
funnels of
dust
and saddlery is still a thriving business.
The evenings are lavender,
abuzz with hummingbirds
whose throats are dazzling,
jagged with purple thunderbolts.
Even the tap water,
sucked up from the wells,
is clear and cold,
valuable as liquid diamonds.
Devils
blasting their
way across
the arid land

The ocean
shuffles back
and forth
endlessly
Leaving this
and taking
back that

New highs
lows and
stormings
Pacific Offensive In the new
warming
Steely gray cloud-ships
slice cumulus waves,
darkening sky with spray. The seasons
raging Each
in its way
Sloppy drops strike earth;
searing, steam rising,
scenting air.
Cold bullets pelt hot skin,
exhausting mental steam,
cleansing dusty being.

The Sun
the Moon
trying to
have their
sway
Landscape and pedestrian surrender,
polished with precision
to a bright, clean sheen. With the
footprint
of man in
the way
