The weekend is here, so it's time for another one of my “Landscape Stories”: a photograph accompanied by a narrative. “Stalemate" was inspired by the winds that hit me as I was climbing sand dunes in the Kelso Dunes Wilderness (CA, USA)...
STALEMATE
There are places deep in the vastness of the wild
Where the truce between Earth and Sky
Is still contested
Out in the desert
Wind, clouds, and rain
Battle to master stone
But even as mountains are ground to dust
The remnant grains now called sand
Reshape themselves into dunes
So tall they scrape the heavens
