bluffs

bluffs*

sand and sand solidified

into boulders and stones..

a basic particle of sand

suggesting a building block
a fundamental material substance

of the spreading escarpment..

further outgrowth appearing as
 pinion and cactus and scrub oak..

this burgeoning activity

under an overcast sky

and all of it

painting temporarily the
comforting substance of

abiding permanence...
