The Temple of the Sun, Capitol Reef National Park | Minolta Maxxum 7000 | Psychedelic Blues #6

The desert is a cruel lover,
out to kill you
her heart void of water, full of danger.
But at least she doesn’t lie about it.

If you relapse into greed,
perhaps all you need
is to speed
into the dark void
of the land of death.
Through the dusty miles of windswept road —
it will be plain to see
only you can decide when you’re truly free.
