Mid-Mourning

The lip of the canyon crumbles in longing showering the lower vegetation with the grit of rock tears. The sky mourns for the face of the earth seeing its own fate it brings forth a silent rain from the depth of puffy white. The wind, full of abandon and lust weaves its tendrils over the cliff face and between crevices of its unspent loins. Sun’s fire incessantly burns consuming all in its wanton wake.
