Unfold (18-148B)
Layers brown as weathered one upon the other
Decorated with sparse green scrub
Angle of light shifts in crevices
Rays unfold hidden contours
Vistas contort
before my eyePushes out morning chill
Warmth reflects from the escarpment
Dirt and stone
pancakes
A layer of timeSlowly erodes to wind and rain
Exposing rawness of time
Each canyon offers a
time capsule
Of one's who have
gone beforePlaces of passing through
Setting roots beside stream bed
Drinking in what the
arid terrain offers
Only hardy surviveHarsh seasons cycle
Weeding out the fragile
A land for nomads
Wanders survive hereSuckle life giving nourishment
Just as each day season advances
