So... how is this like the human heart.

The Blood is like a river, traveling in vessels it deposits its nutrients into the organs and musculature of the landscape.

The landscape in turn holds water, and this water travels through from the drenched areas (near the rivers and lakes) to dryer places.  Zion being a dry and high place has much water passing towards it.  It reaches maximum here and pours out again.

------------
In the human body blood travels from the heart, to the large vessels and then to the smaller, until it disperses in the organs and musculature.

Once in the musculature and organs, it is changed (sometimes nourished and purified -as in the liver) and then returns pouring back into the veins, but also draining into the lymphatics (which is closer to the desert, the musculature and the spleen) The veinous flow returns to the heart from below, while the lymphatic drains into the heart from above.  This is close to what happens in Zion.

Zion the raised heart of the desert.

Z

Zion the raised heart of the desert. 

The highest desert sandstone, and the most interior is in Zion.  Here all interior water flows (water in the earth), at least what is stored in the red musculature (structure) of the desert.

The sandstone takes root (begins) in the high mountains, extends through the desert basins, and opens as the pillars of Zion.

Another more geologically realistic way of saying this is that the sandstone layers are pused up and exposed at 2 ends.

where the mountains have risen                          

and where the river has cut through rather then rode upon

Water pours in at the section exposed to the mountains.  While it percolates out in sections exposed in Zion.  Allowing water to travel all the way through.   So,  Zions walls act like a pump.... or a heart.

The river sorts the stones

The River sorts the stones.

A river does not move at just one speed.  Near the center it is faster and it is also heavier with more water.  So at the center of the river only the largest stones remain, the smaller stones are left on the sides or down river.

Adirondack lakes

Adirondack Lakes

The lakes a spiders silk

On the langerie of the spiders macromie

the surface transions trampaline tensions

into orbits threading the invisible heavens

light. Casting patterns into a fluid shadow

beneath the bow of a wooden harp, the 

filaments of sunlight wind along a singing
vibrato along the diaphragms drum. A Song

Holding the water togther, in a diarhama

surrounded by an opposition of earthly

shores. Dark female twins with eyes like

oxen... in union and division tenderly hold

the flowers dreaming about windy shores.

Spining flowers

The reflections of maple and cherry wood,

on water blossom with lavendar and rose

odors, incensing the blues, into a jealousy,

of greens twisting upwards into purple

and red petals. The breathing sun light

spins the water back towards the flames. .

Into Delicate things

The delicate flesh, of the eye
a foliage 
        Vaginal in nature

when the lips open, open 

as a smile does. When lips Close,

close in a kiss, creating a still life 
in the mind. Wild in the imagination 
of life,  the vivid memories of scents...

Beyond flesh into scent and wings.

The transparent scent of lavendar and wild rose, enter

into the orbit of the Iris, chasing gossamer wings along
sandy shores. Dancing light across the blinking lense.

The shadows play along the clear fluid with fluttering

fingers, casting nets of black and white into the deep.
the simple illumination painting the fragments beneath

Lost in the light, &swimming through it

of the small internal  musculature,

dancing with the vision. As the two 

brown eyed daughters are now
swimming butterfly across 
the elevated pools. 

Plunging into water, with skirts

spreading open, into golden wheels
a-drift in all the textures, of pollen 
and ambrosia. The ebony pupils

in the center catching the light. In

a fashion quite similar to the black
 widows catching of the winged in-

sects' brillant colors in clever weavings.
