Walking this trail, all is strange
I am still round, attempting square pegs
the evening desert with its saguaro looking people, my friends
snakes, and the hissing heat of day they now crawl away
into the melting sea sky of orange, red
into the indigo rising, turning black
no sound of cities, no world out there to cry
only the calling of stars, like musical notes
songs twinkling in time with
the hot honey yellow moon.
