To Be A Tree In The Desert
​

Buffeted by winds.
blasted by sands,
baked by summer's
relentless sun.


The debris from these trees,
the jagged breaks in their limbs,
the bark, thickened into a shield,
the root gnarled around a rock.


Collected and assembled,
these speak to the textures,
the lines, the shapes,
of arid existence.
