This series of photos and accompanying poems were first published in the August 2019 issue of Mojave Heart Review.

Quiet descends in waves
a spectrum of where
ever sky is upon the lands

This is why

we’re here

to find ourselves

in the middle of nowhere

Waiting for day’s end

on the way to no place in particular

in a moment beyond the outer reaches of time

the subtle bends in the grasslands

whisper all that needs to be said
