Montezuma’s Castle
.
Montezuma’s Castle
sits too tall to climb without ladders
pale white adobes, pressed
together with women palms
centuries ago
since then, ancient sycamores
grow in the streambeds.
.
The next day, we closed in on the South Rim
the north face of Humphreys began to fade
to a mere backdrop
left to stand with common tourists in the
amazement of nature
over the erosion of another natural wonder.
