Chaparral-adorned hills recline like an odalisque.
The horizon rises three
fingers to the sky.
Hot, dry sandstone keeps its own
counsel as the interrogatory
sun beats it. One
vulture interlopes. Descry
what you like or hope
from its flapping, black shape --
the bird's lack of company
signals that it meets another's fate
far, far away.
