Black Canyon by Joann Grisetti

Swallows by Benjamin Chee Chee, 197?

Black Canyon
 
The deep reds and blacks of exposed rock beckons visitors to the very edge – their eyes beyond. Downward drawn, over  and into one thousand feet of striated schist cleaved by the giant axe we call the Guniston.
 
swallows
like boomerangs fly
hot air building
