the green desert
after rain
***
distinctions blur
***
morning moon
desert rock
against desert rock
***
here to be seen
***
time
light has its own
***
for the spaces
in between
***
bends through canyons
cascades
over sand and rock
***
in this poem
from what
***
inside
***
slowly lifts
across the canyon
in morning
where am i
& where the canyon
outside desert
outside sky
outside light
outside light
***
silence is outside
of time
***
of mountains
what does it mean
***
in the shadows
moving up
sides of canyons
***
the edge of light
***
dissolves
in desert night
***
where do we go
***
& then
& then
& now
& then
***
elevation
horizon
expanse
***
when we are ready
what will we bring
***
this driving wind
***
light itself
water itself
not these words
let them go
***
