red rock canyon
An original poem by MaryJane Nordgren
red rock canyon, nevada
wild burro nibbling on scant gray-green
among unkempt cacti
in front of layered mountains, tumble-textured rises
and calico hills vibrant with orange, beige
gypsum white, scab-blood, iron red
grizzled brown, dotted green
and haunted by startling, deep-shadow black
