Dancing In The Desert (Chaco Canyon)

Barefoot in blue moonlit sand

we clear the night of fear

dancing dead centuries

of the desert floor alive once more

pounding rhythmically

with hip and paw, belly and claw

creating earthquakes

of rattlesnake

and foaming lava of scorpion

until grass flowers

and the ghosthunters rise

until the buffalo below

rise up and roam...
