                  fold

ribs pressed to the peak

      muscles wearingold


sleek

in atrophy


rain escaped the sea

sooth the ocean


rocking motion


worn grooves

              wearing


ancient camels staring

wanting to believe


humps are the mountains

that their

people need


she spreads her seeds

while arms of foliage


r

u

b

        rocks to

seduction

                  breaking


can she finally see

          exactly


what was

  promised

not to be


necklace of shelter

bringing the cactus

swim closer

under the earth


air flooding waters

                          fired


their wells

replenished


regurgitate for our birds

born without wings


told that

they are human

with a scorpion sting
