Poem Artwork


The wind tasted like salt and cinnamon
As the drumbeats drew me in deeper
Through the over grown brush we walked
As the flute players song floated ahead
We started to smell smoke from their fire
Mesquite I thought as I trudged forward
The walls of the red canyons were ominous
You could barely see hieroglyphics on them
It was getting dark as we reached the creek
We must wade through to crossover
Now we could hear their laugher and songs
This beautiful desert was as it should be
Here in Navajo country just past Flagstaff
