Desert Poem by rich soos
Desert
daybreak
the cactus calls shadows
for rodents to hide from flames on
the horizon, a silent blaze quieting
intrinsic voices and ghosts
noon
peyote prays life for life
and lives on rodent sweat
twilight
afire the sun signals
blood to darken the skies
painting red the time/space
between day/night
epilogue
dance with dead
midnight spirits
from Patient Rains And Petals (1981)
