Issue 7 - Lauren Camp

                                     At Echo Canyon 

(Abiquiu, New Mexico)

Slick rock lost rock

sun on rock and piled rock

dominant rock sediment rock bedding rock

million year lithospheric sculpture of rock

firepit of rock

and us sitting in the curve of rock

each word bouncing against rock

a crooked rock trespassing through chasm of rock

the grand earth geologic process of rock

sorted into ambiguous rock

we keep placing our secrets in rock

rock cascade painted rock

transcendent rock smart rock thick rock solid rock

neighborly rock the last open rock

salt rock haunted rock

civilized rock outcropped rock

rock cove rough-skinned rock

and knobby knobby motionless

sun-scoured rock

drunken convoluted rock suffering rock

slipped rock tender rock baby rock

stuck rock

plain rock broken rock

untamed rock rock rushed from an old river

rock calendar middle-aged rock Medicaid rock

single rock parent rock

shy rock fixed rock disagreeing rock

ragged rock weary rock

resting rock sweet rock sensitive rock

rock drift depraved rock attentive rock

safe rock thinking rock

rock bluff walking rock original rock

mute rock meditating rock

rock bible holy rock rock world

constant rock companion rock clay rock

colored rock fossiled rock

lonely rock ready rock formal rock

lying rock

lying rock

sorry rock to forgiving rock
