We live on the edge of a moving precipice
I love the chutzpah of communities
Which plunk themselves down on the edge of a continent
That the sea has been ferociously taking back
Since the land was born

As old
Until I reflect
And recall
The sandstone
Began to rise

Years ago

An infant, a toddler
The geological child

Where time is the answer

Somewhere ahead
A place
I’d like to be
With twists and turns
I’m never sure
Just where
The road takes me
The Moon Comes Calling
Late afternoon
On a cold, crisp Colorado day
The moon comes calling
Wrapped in azure sky

Than a lightly used highway
Which does the exploring for us
