El Paso: Walking With the Moon


Full moon eve, Sunset Heights, El Paso, Texas. October 2016.



Sister cities, El Paso and Juarez, are favorite children of the moon, I think.

The moon likes to rise up, I think, and just look quietly upon the millions who've made their homes in the middle of a desert, ringed by folded mountains.

One October evening, the eve of a full moon, I walked downtown from my apartment in Sunset Heights.

Often, I choose to walk downtown via Prospect. But on this evening, I chose Yandell.

Did I talk to the moon as I made my way down? Probably not. But I was pleased she was there.

I stopped on an overpass to watch the traffic on Interstate 10.

The many-lighted bridge across the way is Prospect Street, my usual route downtown.
