Valley of Life

Straight lines can be found
in the desert
Gravity and geology
form Alluvial magic

In new clairvoyancy
the road in front
is the future
a black myth
impossible truth


The plants are volatile
and open orchards
or drugstores
for shoshones
hidden plain sight

The color alone is worth
the sacrifice
The Junipers sing and hide ghosts
The nature of the plants are hidden within themselves
You dance in an open maze; the coyotes pounce, the pigs snuff
The Pinion Jays always sound so stressed out
The rockface is a giant pipe-organ
or allegory of the unconcious mind craning up into society
