February Flying Carpet 2023

 In February
The Flying Carpet 

migrated with the cranes
to the Rio Grande valley

Los Luceros…
Clear winter light
etches shadow silhouettes
on soft adobe walls

Stories within stories within stories
of the 18th century ranch


New Mexico History 
beckons us to explore
the winding dirt roads…
Primordial rural New Mexico
Valentines, gnomes, motorcycles,
votives, pickups, reindeers
and always plastic flowers
adorn the graves of the adored

And back home… snow
and snow and more snow
and we come full circle…
 
Special thanks to Maggie…
with her adventurous heart
