Deserted
Sonoran desert
sparse like you
unsentimental wishes
alluring invitation

Desiccated
burning outside in
breathing in satanic dust
how I long for rain
pelting me with cold life force
hydrating my soul
breathing in satanic dust
how I long for rain
pelting me with cold life force
hydrating my soul

Desert plains
Fiery tendrils
Brazenly caress
Parched scapes

in the desert
here
i saw
myself alone
in the
ocean
of sand,
my shoes
leaving
their
conversations,
my thoughts
running low,
and
in the end,
i lost
myself
out there,
to be
weathered,
my silence
got no
discussion
from
the sky,
the wind,
all those
little
creatures
thought
nothing
while
trespassing
over
my bones.

Distant Sands
Distant sands from many lands
flow together in the now
allow a knowing how
only the desert understands
flow together in the now
allow a knowing how
only the desert understands

Rain fills the desert
Whose years of tightly held salt
Bloom to the surface
SALT FLOWERS
Whose years of tightly held salt
Bloom to the surface

Grains of Sand
Grains of sand
slip through my hand
blown in a fickle breeze
across the open desert
that is my life
Scattering
Shattering my illusions
jumping to conclusions
no longer held
no longer believed
for a life left now bereaved
slip through my hand
blown in a fickle breeze
across the open desert
that is my life
Scattering
Shattering my illusions
jumping to conclusions
no longer held
no longer believed
for a life left now bereaved

[Desert Sands Lie Still]
Desert sands lie still
cool under the starless sky
until the sharp sting
cool under the starless sky
until the sharp sting

Drought
each
breath
desiccating
dry
hot
dusty
whirlwinds
lift debris
swirling
upward to
where?
heaven? oz? kansas?
existential
thirst
yearning for
torrents
and
petrichor
white
puffs
form
on horizon
virgae
tease
moisture disappeared
before
reaching earth
leaving only
wind heat
lust and
mother
nature
laughing

A purple table
set again so regally
for my solitude

I BASK WITH YOU
in arid zone
the family home
where you still
and distill
tales rattle and shake
minds swim and then bake
