Desert Noon
Sun bleaches the sand
Strips the rocks of brilliance
Strips the rocks of brilliance
A vulture perches on a rock,
Wings outspread to cool itself.
A snake slithers beneath creosote
Seeking shade, finding none.
The air is still, breathless,
Moisture wicked away.
The land cries out for rain,
For life, for the cycle to go on.
