Train Trip to Ruin

On the Beach Lass

At the beach,
tracks off the end
of the earth.
The choice—
sky or sea?
A lone figure
contemplates.

Meredith
faces the sea—
where will it all
end?
I take a picture
for you.

No Swedes Allowed

Then
planked road,
foot traffic only—
Volvo cannot come
here.
We look back
to our way
home.

Look at
those hills,
those valleys!
The earth is not
flat—
no matter what
my uncle
says.

Doug Palmer April 2008

Doug & Meredith are readying themselves for another trip, this one by train into Arizona to look at ruins and archeology and stuff. The weather should be good, and the traveling will be stress free. Good on them, enit!
