Cactus Sunset

Suddenly, a cactus smacked us,
since I led, I also bled,
from my head as my follower fled,
into the wilderness of his youth,
screaming, beaming, teeming up with,
gleaming  glorious blooms of June,
dancing, prancing with his feet,
til he became one with the sun
disappearing from my sight,
as light gave in to night.
