The lack of morbidity
in painting skulls
and bones
lies in an attitude
of infinity
and the desert
retaking its own.
We can scour the desert and
find many bones
of animals that have simply
not made the transition
to heat
and thirst
as they
age
or get sick.
We can all take lessons from
Georgia O'Keefe
and her approach to
the forever plan
of the desert.
Absorb
and blossom
in what we are given.
