2011 Grand Canyon, drive to Taos w/ Dave
Horizons muted
By a white orange-glowed haze:
Smoke and sunset, mixed.

One big ditch

"I want some sausage.
I'll get it from the cooler."
Grand Canyon breakfast.

An empty bus lot:
They have watched the sun rise and
Applauded, and left.

One big ditch
2010
As I enter the
Smoke-free plaza, I count
The cigarette butts.

My body misses
The ocean liner's rocking.
Landlocked vertigo.

I just killed my first
Mosquito. Is this the fruit
Of monthlong monsoons?

I watched the early
Bird. He was catching a worm.
Now, where is Simone?!

Every spring I
Go away for a week, and
Yards become jungles.

As Da Vinci was
To the lowly earthworm, so
Is this guy to me:
