The Southwest
by
Carmel Westerman
Is this the southwest,
with its hot windblown sand
and prickly cacti?
These rugged states,
seared by the sun,
parched and desiccated?
Listen and you will hear
Athabascan voices echo across
the mountains and plains.
From Paleo to Anglos
civilizations came
and disappeared.
Their legends,
stories and myths
fraught with hardship.
