Mi Angel de la Tardes

Coming down from the top of our hill we see
a sun-washed valley,
deep green in the middle,
dusty brown at the edges,
and clouds casting shadows across bajadas
full of a million years of rocks swept down
from mountains;
and behind the mountains,
long dissolving tails of virga -
rain not reaching the ground -
trailing downward from cumulus cotton
balls far,
far above;
and more
and you -
my angel of the morning afternoon evening,
queen of all along this great desert shore -
more beauty than should be allowed,
but I question nothing
anymore.
