Canyon Cataracts

Moqui Marbles, Coyote Gulch, the Grand Staircase, petrified wood; Marlon Brando

loved Escalante, and you loved me. Red-rock Cave, Golden Cathedral, Slot Canyon,

Wild Cat Gulch; dream images fade in sunrise. Toadstool Trail, Hoodoos, Rimrocks,

Natural Bridge, The Woman’s Dance; over time, our hearts grow blind.  Bryce Canyon,

Indian petroglyphs, Devil’s Garden; we fail to see, with true delight, even the most

exquisite scenery; we fail to see each other. Under the falls, spray; eyes almost opaque.
