Desert Makes Love

Desert Makes Love Desert makes love to us forever in the sand It shared our flesh with buzzards when we crashed Our crew was killed below the dune for lack of fuel Jet exploded. Desert heals. It forgives all in time The water-less beach became an open tomb A mirage of life pursued Trembling waves of burning heat exposed us Gave illusions we were moving and of life Winds licked our pure white bones with care Sun bleached and bathed us in its love Desert transformed and blended all the remnants Of what were men among the living In with all the other grains, swirling on the land There is no pain remembered as Desert makes love to us forever in the sand It shared our flesh with buzzards But now it has us for its own Invited home before the light of day
