Antelope Canyon, Valentine Cavern
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
The caves of love, romantic love, each old
Like stone they carve through, wait inside the chests
Of boys and men. Each curving sandstone fold
In caverns echoes masculine maze quests
Along the chambers poetry would sing
Of, if a villanelle might capture pain,
The echoes ever finding twinge and zing
Away from outer desert worlds of stain.
When waters over eons etched these walls,
These etchings did not know a saint would come
Called Valentine. Results of rocky halls
