Winter Reminder
1400 miles into my trip
to Arizona.
I drive past enormous
cattle yards of Amarillo
which exuded
the “smell of money"
as Texans put it.
One is surprised
snow instead of sand
is blown around
fence posts.
From Tucumcari,
NM, my last descent
to sunny Camelback Mountain, AZ
is 650 miles…
The snow by fence posts
still tortures
my nagging wintered mind.
