Albuquerque Sleeps

Sweet nothings; dreams forever keep.

Desert roads on empty horizons of fear.

Albuquerque now sleeps.

Red mesas rise and kiss the night skies.

Coyotes howl beneath a waning moon.

Chaparral hisses and moans; a desert stranger dies.

Albuquerque sleeps�

J. Allen Wilson � 10/2007

New Mexico...J.Allen...what are you doing in the arid climate when your feet love the saline of the Atlantic. I can't say anything. When I was in Phoenix a few months back, I couldn't breath. The arid air was choking me and my gills were dehydrated.
Love,
Susan

I thought you were talking about Albuquerque now that the International Balloon Fiesta is over -- "Albuquerque Sleeps"
Yep, if you don't know where you're going - you could get really lost. but stay on the roads and it will eventually get you "there." We are a beautiful city on the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, and surrounded on the other 3 sides by Indian reservations. Guess I'm partial to where I live.
