| ______ | All time is here; ancient seas, marsh, salt. I walk up a flaming canyon. Stones radiant with heat, prickly pear, sage and rabbit-brush-- bare scorched things. I clamber over a dry waterfall, inhale warmth from pale baked clay, scatter panting lizards. In and out of light and shadow, the path narrows to a solitary juniper against a sliver of sky. On slopes claret-cup cactus blossom-- Light is scarlet, light is flowing. Sand shifts, becomes damp, oozing. Cottonwood leaves dance to a wind not felt. I hear a ticking on boulders, a flare of water over a shelf of cool fern and a slow gathering of watery blooms, pink and yellow --wandering seeds made fruitful. I too am here.
