modern

canyon stains reflect
in the stream-- solid & liquid
indecipherable. a distracting
decibel, land-lines are layers
on silence. the wind picks up
a pebble, careens it south into the shade
of a wall. a cactus reaches outwards,
towards the sun. a condor, circling twice &
finding footprints, flies off. silhouettes
among the flatland: an opened can with a jagged
lip, a horseshoe turned down, a tumbling weed
killer flyer crumpled & wind-dusted, a broken wagon wheel
as a reminder of what once was.
