Utah Desert

colored pencil on paper

Los Angeles 2014

When I was a young boy in the 1950s we lived in Utah for a while. I was maybe six or seven. We, my friends and I, would go for long walks through the beautiful high plains desert. In the distance we would here the deep booms of atomic bombs being tested across the mountains in Nevada. No shit. What a memory.

Even with the bombs though, the American Southwest was so beautiful. I miss it dearly.

Fast forward sixty five years. I now live on a small island in the Philippines. On the other side of the earth. Hiding.

In the distance I can hear roosters crowing and dogs barking.

So strange.
