Distant headlights,
molecules of water —
a river of light streaming
west through the desert.
Passing statues, abandoned
water parks, broken
hills, gray and black and burned,
winding their way toward the
consummate coast.
They arrive, pouring
themselves into eternal blue!
Fault lines shift,
Uplift –
all roads that once led West
lead back inland.
