Dwellings:  Ghost Ranch

This house has been here for a hundred years

beneath red rock mesas and runaway stars.

Round as the word "adobe"

it sits heavy and settled

on the same high desert it is made of.

And deep inside this house,

the rooms are as cool as clean sheets -

the thick wood floors

worn smooth and fine

by the fundamental audacity

of people like O’Keeffe.
