desert
after some cool beers the heart settles down
the dust resonates in the desert
a flash of fire lights the sky
something ancient is brewing
the moon reveals its mammary glands
as i open my mouth for the offering
the spring air wheezes in the lungs
as the alveoli chime with joy
the inanimate objects don’t seem dull anymore
insignificance doesn’t ring anymore
this is a strange moment
like all those unexplained moments
after dark
whoever said silence is golden
was a fucking genius
