Early Afternoon on the Parkway

The sun spills gold across the valley.

The Joshua trees throw shadows
over stone and sand,
each one a strange monument
to survival.

A cloud drifts over the mountains.
The light changes.

For a moment the desert looks painted,
as though some wandering artist
mixed dust and sunlight together
and called it home.
