Desert Haiku


New Mexico lives
on a leisurely two hours
behind the East Coast.

Chihuahuan Desert:
after the rain, the clouds fade
the creosote bursts.

Is it you I crave,
or the backdrop of your life--
the mountains, the sun.

Top Five Favorite New Mexico Town Names:

1. Los Lunas
2. Chamisal
3. Mescalero
4. Magdalena
5. Shiprock

Oh New Mexico, I Zia Sun Symbol you.
