On the other side, Anasazi cliff dwellings
were tucked into rocks above a dry river.
Seeing
no path, I
approached an
intentional
unfolding back into the earth, perhaps the true
burial of the soul rather than the resurrection
of an absolute god from
a different direction.
With my
nose close to it, the fractured wall
looks like a shelf, an ancient
community to
build
on, safe from the many
worlds
below.
