Porcupine Mountain: 1983

warned of scorpions, we
left the hut, our boots tied over our
jean cuffs, our hands holding
sticks,

a burnt charcoal smell
urging the dusk, we smelled
barbecue somewhere on
the desert, the cooler air
moving down the mountain,
our camp far behind us.

we longed to climb, and
so we did, for thirty minutes,
each minute
bringing the sunset closer.

sitting on an escarpment,
we watched the broiling
orb lower so slowly,
we searched its meaning
for something timeless.
