O’Keeffe’s Shell Abandoned white shell, life's remnant Cast upon the blood red mountains Reflects the yellow lemon sky Hidden under pearl grey shadows Ancient sea floor reveals treasures Abandoned white shell, life's remnant Spiral tunnel invites descent Punctuated by pink nipple The desert remembers the sea Cradles curling moon waves within Abandoned white shell, life's remnant Brings blood red flow down the mountain Dry earth under the egg yolk sky Bursting vermillion streaks delight The parched heart of the observer Abandoned white shell, life's remnant.
