Southwest of Sedona
Baked mountains encrusted
with a kiss of many suns.
Dry air moans on melted
shards of desert rock.
Blistered lips sealed tighter
with the dryness of every
swallow.
Stifling parched steps
yielding this sundered
land of our ancestors
footprints.
Forever silenced whispers
of discoveries not yet
heard through cracked
wisps of branched tumbleweeds.
Blowing, touching, caught
in the arms of an
unforgiving cactus.
Sentenced to look on as
others tumble by, their
destiny unknown to only
themselves...
