In New Mexico, descansos dot the landscape. These roadside memorials traditionally signify the place where someone’s life was tragically lost, frequently due to vehicular accidents, commemorating the departed. When I traveled the state on my motorcycle, these markers were a common sight along my path. Nowadays, as I wander through the city, I occasionally spot them nestled within residential yards. My 03/10/24 postcard captures one shrine I encountered in a yard close to Emerson. Adorned with candles, water bottles, rum, beer, Pepsi, and roses, it sparked curiosity about the story behind these personal offerings.
