Deeper Forces

This poem was written while visiting Ghost Ranch, N.M., and the surrounding area.1


Low spots fill 2

with molten ooze,

solidifying,

resisting, 

as the softness erodes.


A rift forms 3

bounded by faults,

shifting,

ripping,

as scars deepen.


New life peaks through

the starkness---

thorns,

then flowers

in the gloaming.
