we slept near the car and woke as the sky got brighter
no sooner than the sun crested the distant bare peaks than the air began to warm, quickly
hotter and hotter
riding a ridge above masada
distant bedouin camps
roadside camels and donkeys
baren beauty
long dry hot day of looking for rest
solo crater dusk ride
colors shifting, shawdows stretching
slept hard in a bedouin camp
mosquito swatting
early morning moving
riding into the oven...
the sun rose as did the temperature
sparse refuge amongst the blinding moonscape
