Dead Horse Point

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
