Universe of the Cross

Inside a curve, on top of a rock, the tole-painted white cross oversees its universe:
pieces of broken rear-view mirror, reflecting tiny bits of the hazy summer sky
implied-water of distant cottonwoods
pipe-organs of black cliffs
pale feathery mesquite leaves grabbing at its head

State Highway 17
Jeff Davis County, Texas
