A desert is a growth,
a common system full of arid shadows,
often mistaken for the direction of
fine-grained wind over
dry abandon.

The word
desert
may imply:
      rocky absence
      a sparse interpretation:
            heat reflecting lack.

Brittlebush stems
from small soil.

Crescent-shaped
air runs
around artificial reputations:
      oases.

Barren temperatures.

Salt-covered potentials.

The giant saguaro lives,
adapted
to hidden daylight hours.

Ephemeral rivers
water the deserts,
like buried kidneys,
continuous channels of lack,
running remnants of clues.

There are four currents of fertile light:
      the red consequence,

like a coiled snake.

Many deserts are formed
by rain shadows,

composed
of rarity and fossils.

Most sand
is undulating
in instant time.

like general impressions.

of a duty,
a promise.

To abandon.
