friday

30 days, 30 pages with writing on them. That's the deal.



20.

Desert

This is where I live, waiting
for the rain, the next,
and next drop
sent to keep me

going, slow growing
pinpricks against empty spaces
lean, straight, hungry
miles, my curve the shadow
bent to tracking days

Nothing deep, you see
it all, except my reach
fingers just beneath
the surface, miles

of roots that watch forever
hands cupped
open-mouthed, amazed
at anything that finally comes
