earth note 766


albuquerque

until the sun
broke over the eastern mountains
the valley remained quiet
a misty dark
adobe houses cold as clay
a couple of bicycles panting
up the hill to the university
the neighborhood dogs
throwing out a bark
here & there
the empty lots & spaces
dry grainy brown
     indigenous
rail yards pointing west
& empty
