vista de la ciudad

my bosque grande
with your forty shades of brown
how easily you disappear
from way up here
into the desert that surrounds
you

i came to you lost
but didn't know it
and now on days when i think
too much is gone
you welcome me like the family
i had all along

just before coming up here today
i see a fast-moving squall
blanketed the crest with snow
(cold to the touch
the flakes keep the earth warm
below)
it's down in the valley now
puffs of white shot through with
sun
i am among friends
yes
and with her the journey
ends
