Vision

at noon
when the sun is hottest
you will feel a sting
and know you’ve lost something

at dusk
when the house is empty
you will step on a crow
and run

in the desert
you will cross your arms
stare at the sky in defense
and know i am gone

you will be empty
and remember when you were full
you will cry from your stomach
and hate the hero

Desert

I.
i asked the desert what i wanted
and it gave me wind that was dark and quiet

i asked the sky what love was
and it put your fingers in my mouth

i asked the stars if you had released me
and they spoke silently

i felt empty space
around me and in me

II.
push your face into the ground
the sand is still warm in the night

stay close to the earth
rise only to see morning

god lives in the center of the sky
stand up and meet him

his will is only a wish
for you to know yourself
