Bridge creaks gamble
Pin oak and asphalt
Trailed home to rattle
Snake crossed switchback
An herb smelling sun
Cut down beyond Sierra
Sharp in lichen shadow
Past angel falls and beer cans
Flooding granite channels
Clinging to choking rushes
Hog-backed and foothill homeless
Empty out the returns
In fire station satori
Corrupted interns spaded
Shallow ash pit whittle
Descending buzzard thermals
Devil's paint pots muddle
Creosote reeking ridges
66 in Mohave paving
Keaton's last chance gas
Profaned kiva timbers
Staked out padre's graveyard
A hole in the wall gang
Weighed in kindred spirits
Georgia's gone south now
Wintering under altitude
While snowing up the valley
Crystal speeds the plow
