earthwheel :: a forgotten variation :: western desert :: 2005

anasazi flute the sound

of owls in june twilight :

a relic of disintegrated memory

::: from here the moon stands

eclipsed behind blue

canyon walls ::

this place : neither desert nor plain :

but a relic of itself :: walls : pathways :

the ancient turning earthwheel

steady as truth :: so we

still memorize these ruins and

their wind-braided music of

voices : bells : holy breath :

of stones

abandoned here

to dance :::
