Three Seasons in The Desert Wind

I woke up in the heat of the building radiator heat ~
hopefully, it should be working in the dead of Winter.
It's still the last of Autumn.
I kicked the sheets and blankets off of me and desired
a breath of fresh air. I heard him saying,
"The indoor air must circulate."
I arose and turned on the large Summer fan.
Ah! Fresh air!!
My sleeping garments blew in the fan breeze ~
like the veils of an Arabian woman~blowing in a desert wind.

Tucked between sandstone cliffs and the San Juan River. Rich in human and natural history, Bluff is a central point along the Trail of the Ancients National Scenic Byway, serving as a gateway to quintessential Southeastern #Utah destinations such as Monument Valley, Bears Ears National Monument, Valley of the Gods and Hovenweep National Monument.

Ancestral #Puebloans were the first to settle the area, leaving behind an impressive array of rock art, abandoned dwellings, and other artifacts as clues to their lives in this harsh desert landscape.
Nomadic Paiute, Ute, and Navajo tribes also traveled through the Bluff region, leaving their own archeological marks as well as modern-day influences on the local culture. Mormon pioneers hoping to establish a farming community along the San Juan River founded historic Bluff City during the famous “Hole in the Rock” expedition of 1880. #ticaboo

AUTUMN
Salt Lake City

I live amongst all the tall buildings.
There's hardly a nearby tree.
My thoughts fly over the mountains
and across the sea ~
to where you are,
living in your city.
