Landscape 1 Poem by Luc Ultio

Landscape 1



She walked out to the desert and did not know what she would find
She stepped across the dead land
She thought she'd be fine
The sand curled under her toes
She thought
It was his own
The sun went down in the desert
She, thought, she'd be fine

She, never knew that he had died
She, never knew that he'd been dead the whole time

The desert quick-sanded her like it need to have her
But if he truly wanted her
He would have given himself life
The wind tore down all of her hair
She was naked
and so bare
The sun went down in the desert
She would, lie there, forever

She, never knew that he had died
She, would never know that he'd been dead the whole time

And when the sun came up
The light bleached her bones
The desert sunrise
went, well, with the white
The desert storms cam quick
Far of in the distance
But by the next day
She was gone.

She, never knew that she had died
She, never knew that she'd been, dead the whole time.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I visited Death Valley last summer and met a woman who had lost something there. This is actually a song, if that makes more sense.
