Face down in soil Sandstone to dust Blood red, rooted juniper Shade before the heat of the day Knife and jagged spear Barefoot upon the Earth Water sources putrid Meat of the hare lean Serpents seek refuge

Tempest 03:57
Cold chill in the air Dust devils in the distance The far off cliffs bathed in smoke Vision blocked, stinging sand Maelstrom, searing winds Choking, gasping, swallowing earth Feeling for shelter, bloodied feet Falling, only darkness Bones ache, skin cracks Shelter at last Though the winds still howl, bodies rest

5.
Peace, calm Wounds begin to heal and shut Light of day above Poking through small apertures Smooth rock, a cradle carved by rain Ancient excavation, untouched by man Faint dripping, a passing stream Emerge, a calm landscape Silence of night Stars as beacons Ancient warriors, guides A red sun will rise
6.
Tattered clothes, broken tools Nothing left to sweat The sun weighs on each step Skin pink from burn Drifting from reality Desolate landscape A fine place to lay my bones Carrion for the birds Mirage or oasis, desperate pursuit Crawling, sinking into dunes A familiar path, salvation at last A test completed, a man I have become

Walkabout 02:54

about

Burning hot and frigid cold. A man's place in the desert is always at the mercy of nature and only with luck, skill and determination can he hope to survive it.

A love letter to the deserts of the American West, "Walkabout" is like the desert itself: chaotic and dangerous but with interludes of tranquility and contemplation.
