earth note 598


little colorado river

for every dry wash
on the high desert
there are lost communities
parched bodies
hidden beneath the flame
perceptive beyond explanation
way beyond
the modern sun worshippers
and expensive sandals

the original people
grew squash
made decisions together
knew the seasons
nurtured families
made music
told stories

of the future
