Sunset, Fire, Mountain, Rain
April 16, 2009
Mogollon Baldy, March 2005
Cloud-filled gulleys.
A killing ground– flame
smoke, steam — so
steep the fire crews
let this one burn.
Smells like incense
from ten miles away
looks like Shangri-la,
mind-road to Buddha-land
sunset pouring straight
into those clouds
then straight back out.
