June 13, 2018 at Hoffmaster State Park in Michigan.
From the dusty mesa
Her looming shadow grows
Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote
She twines her spine up slowly
Towards the boiling sun
And when I touched her skin
My fingers ran with blood
When the last light warms the rocks
And the rattlesnakes unfold
Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones
,,,,rise with me forever
Across the silent sand
And the stars will be your eyes
And the wind will be my hands
(Excerpts from Far from any Road by Songwriters: Brett Sparks / Rennie S Sparks)
On a hot summer hike on the dunes at Hoffmaster State Park.
