Vision in the Desert

She burned my eyes

with her clear and cameo lines.

I couldn't breathe for want of a heart

as I watched her spell a prayer in the sand.

Golden she danced, and wild she moved

in marvelous motions of joy!



*My mom loved the deserts of the west. I wrote this poem for her, and when she passed away, it was burned along with her ashes.
