Monument Valley

by Terry Olynik

Passing saguaros
And baby cholla.
Passing ocotillo,
Barrel cacti.
Heading north.
Bypass the canyon
Grande.
To where
Four states meet.

I called you
Fucked-up.
You called me
Lackadaisical.
On a John Ford
Landscape,
Both of us were hungover.
One of us was right.

Fascinating imagery. You really used some striking language in this.

This is great. The last two lines are perfect.
