marsh,
valley,
desert meet
thorn you into being
why here
how
do we make this work
there’s bobcat
scat everywhere
10,000 wingbeats
in a turquoise sky
mountains that ran
out of mountaintop
and just quit
bipeds in 4Runners
crunch the auto tour
craning at
wild turkeys
dinosaurs crossing the road
how close is safe
how far can we get
when can we do it again
