Desert Eyes
I sat beside a stern cactus
The wind howled
It was mild and friendly
Snakes and lizards
scampered up the dune
trying to elude the relentless sun.
I don't know why
but I watched and waited.
I was warm and content
until a bird bore a hole
in the top of the cactus.
The hollow echoed
be still and learn.
