saving a tarantula
sharp curve towards Hoover Dam
raced to the bottom
 tarantula |  ranch |  LeRoy |
|---|---|---|
 I climbed |  that one there |  lazy Sunday-afternoon pace |
 football field |  pumpjacks |  inlaid |
 painted distant mountaintops |  nub of rock |  Halloween |
 HALT! |  tore at my shins |  touristy Route 66 town |
 gargantuan structure |  impossibly straight |  hunched over my laptop |
 soggy pedaling |  motocross racetrack |  pulling oil |
 hundreds of pumpjacks |  Mike O'Callaghan Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge |  near Navajo Tower |
 satanic fireman |  fire-scarred trunks |  shafts of sunlight |
 wild mustangs |  Continental Divide |  dead cornstalks |
 Gila National Forest |  sticking to my gloves |  Chino Copper Mine |
 three-toed prints |  near-boundless expanse |  hypodermic syringe |
 6% descending grade |  irrigated cotton fields |  handrail |
 stayed put |  a hundred thousand stone fragments |  collapsing memories |
 History of Bleiblerville |  Rattlesnake carcasses |  beautiful Native huntress |
 nearby exit ramp |
backroad
flashing slot machines
coiled like a spring
gnarly storm
barn owls hunting -
00:0000:00
howling coyotes -
00:0000:00
roaring Highway 290 -
00:0000:00
final miles
straight through the desert
