Moonscape
with Moon Pies
burnt-black rock pillows
on a bed
of rock
think we’re lost
but then earth opens
welcomes us home
sandstone
wombcanyon
beige, shell pink waves
lap us downstream
earthoven baked
most of the canyon’s pools dry
in deep shadow
one oval of ice
This must be it, you say.
The place where no light can get.
Don’t we all have that?
