santa fe














let us go now
to a place
where rooftops are
flat -
no rise
no run
and water
color
drips
from
a canvas sky
someone
stretched
over this baked brick town
where I leave
adobe footprints
through yellow oak
leaves
that
do
not
hurry
to the ground

  3. I like this poem, and the first line particulary.

    It draws the reader in and reminds me of TS Eliot. Which is awesome.

  5. Yellow oak leaves that do not hurry to the ground....

    There is a zen-like calm in the poem....exquisite...

  6. I love the abruptness in the beginning which then leads into something slow and unhurried like leaves falling to the ground.Lovely.
