cliff dwellers

Driving up through 

Northern Arizona 

You know you’re almost there 

when you see the Cliff Dwellers

 


























Indigenous peoples 

Once lived in these boulders

And up in the Vermilion Cliffs 

Most of the Tribesmen 

Built Hogans or Pit Dwellings. 

Just the rocks remain. 

Coffee and previously 

downloaded YouTube videos. 

Wearing my fuzzy Eddie Bauer 

Pseudo moccasins. 

Sitting in a little craftsman

Nostalgic fishing lodge. 

Getting tan the Arizona way 

10 years ago I never dreamed

My life would be where I am today. 

Basically the same, 

But I seem to understand it

On a much deeper level.

I think vacations help with that.
