Horses fly on the desert like Greycloud geese Like windborne news Witnessing the dust-- Dustplumes, our trailing tails. We start to char and sweat In the Slickrock oven lands As you would too. So Let's go! The Aquarius Plateau Watercolor woods (Aspens by Rousseau) Here we are unicorns. Crossing the stream Walk on water. Water! Our fetlocks whip vapor trails. Hooves on orange sand, submerged In squirming crystal. Drink.

DREAM NOTES

My earliest memory is of being a horse living not far from a red rock cluster of crags I learned years later was Shiprock on the Navaho Reservation. For several years I led two alternating lives: a child in suburbia who had a recurring dream he was a wild horse in the high desert near Four Corners who had a recurring dream he was a small human child...

The Slickrock is part of the Colorado River canyonlands.

The Aquarius Plateau is a green sky-island in Utah, snowy in winter but heaven in summer. If you're a horse. Or a certain sort of human.

When I visited the Southwest on two legs, age 17, I spent a month in constant déjà vu.

About being a horse.
