Mazama, Washington felt like a hazy ride through the tunnel of love.

A ride that began with good intentions never quite sailed through into daylight.

Togetherness splintered like mesquite trees in a summer storm.

The end of trust appeared unannounced and unaccounted for.  Another gash which arrived without a hint of gathering despair.

Up in Mazama Washington, when nobody was watching, the tunnel of love caved in.
