PICTURES OF THE SOUTHWEST: DESERTED by ELIZABETH KING COWGILL

First Line: NOTHING SO FORLORN
Last Line: SOCKETS OF A BLEACHING SKULL.
Subject(s): HOUSES; RUINS; WEST (U.S.); SOUTHWEST; PACIFIC STATES;
Nothing so forlorn
As an old tumble-down house --
Doors gone, roof sagging,
Windows gaping like empty
Sockets of a bleaching skull.
