Dead Horse Point, a poem from Moab, Utah, by Wendy Gist
Sol
Sunrise ghosts wild horses busting through
black brush
Terra
Desert cottontail careen among wildflowers
in roiling dust at the sheer edge of a canyon wall
Agua
Still waters in ancient sandstone cisterns
yearn Colorado river rhythms swirling below
Luna
Silver moon shapes mustangs sheltering
under starstruck champagne overhang
