Abanded Ranch House In A Desert Storm 1 comment
Abanded Ranch House In a Desert Storm — Image by kenne
Clouds loom dark like a locust swarm,
Stalking creatures on anxious flight.
Senses heighten in a desert storm,
As nature flaunts her awesome might.
Ribbons of fire rips a fabric of gray,
Creatures are humbled by awesome roars.
Winds summon raindrops to play,
And tempests provoke its downpours.

Alone in the night shadows
Abandoned in the darkness
Tall sentinels raise their arms
In the light of the full moon
Facing the old ranch house
Where the poet is signing
As the night-raven sings
In concert with howling coyotes
Under the alluring moonlight.

Alone in the night shadows
Abandoned in the darkness
Tall sentinels raise their arms
When the full moon is out
Facing the old ranch house
Where the poet is signing
As the night-raven sings
In concert with howling coyotes
Under the trembling moonlight.

Abandoned Desert Ranch House — Building The Myth 5 comments
Abandoned Desert Ranch House — Images by kenne
This abandoned ranch house has a beautiful desert view off the La Milagrosa Canyon trail near the entrance to the canyon. One expects abandoned structures to have a story, but my brief research found none. Looks like a good opportunity for myth-building to share with hikers on the La Milagrosa Canyon trail.
The sign says, No Trespassing,
Placed just off the trail —
Who’s inside that house?
Only partially boarded up,
A face inside is watching us –
Who’s inside that house?
Faces on the trail look for answers,
Hoping to see movement –
Who’s inside that house?
The look of a mythical place,
Everything is waiting –
Who’s inside that house?
A breath of decay,
the darkness breathes –
Who’s inside that house?
Once a breath of desire,
now lost to the desert spirits –
Who’s inside that house?
Listen to the spirits
in this land of light –
Who’s inside that house?
Answers are in the canyon wind,
robbing nature of her myth –
Who’s inside that house?
She stands on the canyon rim,
Listen to her song in the wind –
now you know the answers.

THE DESERT RANCHER ON SUNDAY
by Jeffrey Alfier
Winds release clouds from the tread of drifting
but buoy the arcs of loitering hawks.
It’s so quiet he swears he hears sunlight,
Chihuahuan sage blossoming in clusters.
Where his footfalls impel a warbler’s flight,
distant church bells summon their own echoes.
He kneels, presses palms to parched tractor ruts
that angle off into wind-runneled fields.
Thin soil keeps him for another season,
the ground made of nothing his hands won’t hold.
