Canyon Cataracts
Moqui Marbles, Coyote Gulch, the Grand Staircase, petrified
wood; Marlon Brando
loved Escalante, and you loved me. Red-rock Cave, Golden
Cathedral, Slot Canyon,
Wild Cat Gulch; dream images fade in sunrise. Toadstool
Trail, Hoodoos, Rimrocks,
Natural Bridge, The Woman’s Dance; over time, our hearts
grow blind. Bryce Canyon,
Indian petroglyphs, Devil’s Garden; we fail to see, with
true delight, even the most
exquisite scenery; we fail to see each other. Under the
falls, spray; eyes almost opaque.
