A sleeping woman reclines elegantly
among the mountains
overlooking Alamogordo.
As far as I know
she has started no cults.
She bears no resemblance to Mary of Guadelupe
or a Buddha.
I found fossilized shells
in the rock near her.
At some point she
must have risen
from an ancient ocean.
Long may she remain
a bunch of rock
that from some angles
looks like
a sleeping woman.
