roads riverbeds canyons buttes & mesas

i know these words have been used
more elegantly than here
sometimes we wait too long
for the perfect phrase
combinations of underused words
won't fool anybody

how many times have the leaves changed
before and after their sequence of prime colors
or from the terra incognita
you wait for the perfect
that never comes

the road will sort us all out
in the end
at some point
there will be dust squalls
& flash floods
the land has a watchful eye
& never made promises
