Rough
Rock
Arizona
January, 1972
January,
"Moon of the popping Trees"
Night desert
Moon-washed and clear
Empty between the stars
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnthe sand horizon glows quiet
Snow is down
Mesas set ship-like
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxJourneying motionless
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxon the desert sea
Moonlit ice-dry
night
Branches of great pines burst
In night cracking cold
It is January
"Moon of the popping trees."
