Distance is a dream
brought on by shadowed mesas
etched with early snow --
in truth, the bluffs are as close
as the rims of my eyelids.
These layered mesas lie to the South of us. Light creates illusions of distance on the Flats; some features of the landscape stand out with crystalline clarity on certain days, while others are nearly invisible until a specific cast of light brings them out of hiding. I feel that all of these features are much closer than they appear.
