Sonoran Desert

Lamp posts eyes through cracks of curtains spying sewing needles through mine uninvited screeching tires honking horns sirens plucking mind’s guitar unstop. Take me to the Sonoran steal into a hut while its inhabitant hunts fall asleep in its belly hidden from rattling reptiles hunting grasshoppers coyotes the howling hunter mouse monsters, giants the Gila, the Iguana scorpions! Take me to the Sonoran illumed by the Saguaro opening its white petals at night a lamp post of candelabra flowers where lizards on waking take sunbeams showers savoring magic of orange red golden yellow flowers winking at sunset and vanishing. Honk, honk! Screech! Splash! Spilled my glass of chamomile slumbering on the sandy waterless beach of the Sonoran.
