Breadth


Breadth

Breadth of this land,
Would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it.
From one coast to the center
From fog enveloping everything
to red cliffs swallowing us all to
sandstone glinting
impassive
Mesa to prairie.

One land, 
not mine, not yours.
Its own,
enduring even our ambivalence,
even our small fears,
even this, to
enfold us again,
to keep
driving.
