Tsé bighínílíní
by Sharmagne Leland-St. John
     After the photograph of Antelope Canyon by Bing Hua

Flash floods and monsoons
sculpt to perfection...
etching limestone into art

Rain water swirls down
slot canyons to buffer
and smooth hard, rough edges

Sunbeams enhance
rainbow murals
the desert's palette
of vermillion, amber,

apricot, sapphire and violet
brushed by Nature
over a canvas of silica walls

Shadows dance across
this symphony of colour
calling out to spirits
of those long gone.
