El Paso, Texas

El Paso, Texas
 desert landscape
  mountain tops
   cactus’s so green
     sand storms
      dry air
Footprints of a lone coyote
    beige sand
     rocky mountain ledge
            leads the way
               to a 
                   sun-filled sky
dry heat
   winter in the morn
               spring at noon
                        summer by four
El Paso, Texas 
              a
                 small
                      fragment of 
                           the Lone Star State
                                                         Home
