Built harsh
And to extremes.
Yet
If one looks
Very carefully
You'll see
A beauty.
Unlike
Anything else
On earth.
Reminding me
There's more to
Be witnessed
Around us.
Then
The artificial dualities
We have created
In our daily life.
Of black/white
Off/on
Or wealth/poverty.
Often wonder
How different life
Would be
If we had to spent
A week or two
There.
Without
Any of the gadgets
We have become
So reliant
Upon.

Author's note: Although, I have never travelled, to the US southwest, the photos remind of my childhood trip, to southern Alberta and the badlands, that are shared, with North Dakota. And the rich site of fossilized remains of Dinosaurs and sea creatures, from long ago.
