Under a white sky,
heat slows, numbs
and the fields
crouch down
praying for rain.
Leave me quiet,
under a juniper.
Leave me in the thirsty
animal of my body.
I’m landing on my planet,
here in the terrible,
beauty of now.

Amazing, absolutely love "I'm landing on my planet, here in the terrible beauty of now."
ReplyDeleteI love that "terrible beauty of now". Hot, under a white sky, always beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's unanimous so far, Lorna, I also love "here in the terrible beauty of now" — fabulous phrase.
