Over Arizona

I take the window seat,
Hoping from cloud height to hear
What the sleeping earth has said:
 
Something in the fires,
The clipping hooves of horses, burros
Echoing somewhere still
Stirring dust and the constant carving— 
 
Rocks in wrinkled sheets
Clouds must know
How the old lines read,
 
Something simple, instructional—
Laws for exchange of heat and light.
