Notes

essential mythological of southwestern
gold dust etheric cloud surrounding

city of sticks

ecological disaster of nuclear collateral
when distant panners strike a fool rush

these are the days of crumbling guns and lungs
all along these gorge boulders black and bald
footsteps half hoofed

gasp in the sun
water the day long blood of the mountain
look at how she run
force of kant and how down from the heavenly throne
waters cut dry stone gifts of gods
leak through surfaces calling sound
echo of sound
echo’s bones
