Description
Desert Becomes Her--
She tasted the energy of sandstone
after many absent years
locked to a time clock
The alarm had broken
so did her muted mind
And what came before
in empty suits
and dull hours
was strained by sand
She surrendered to the hot volume
and the wide mouth
of a dry sky
The wind blew
across the dunes on her face
starving her sight
as the desert mother embraced her
to kill the forged image
of a body set in empty space
