Arid Land
arid land, the broad border
hugging a ribbon green
along the Rio Grande
bustle of life along
the thin aqua-thread
weaving its way to the gulfcoast
colonies of insects, birds
mountains with strands of trees,
communities of people
all variety of ages, sizes
rainbow colors
smiling, crying, eyes full of
sorrow, youth, joy, jealousies....
