"I wanted to live in the rain shadow of heavy east-bound Pacific squalls,

scraped by the jagged teeth of unnamed peaks.

Resting here on the fringe of cottonwoods,

you can see the late afternoon storm clouds spill over the spine of this world,

hear the thump and rattle of distant thunder,

while the smell of wet sage hangs on the wind."
