Nothing Compares To The Desert
Time
does its thing much faster
in
the desert – for instance
life
becomes
a frigid matter
of
cyclic renovation and
efficiency
kills any
squandering
Boulders
remain after we pass
by
their
sponginess, a sucker
for
rain
Some
have thwarted the desert
by
acceleration of their inner
clock;
and they've turned into dunes
microscopic
shadows or even palm
trees,
inhabiting springs
Siliceous
units adjust against
a
universal grail
each
time men walk
the
desert
Eagerly
pursued
love
– good or bad – is not
found
in the desert; as boulders
it
grows slowly inside
of
you.
