WARNING: Saguaro I wandered e'er so stiffly, speaking to loneliness, Got dead to desire at the start, deaf to silence, This remained an arduous journey of despair, Beneath a broad unforgiving expensive sky, Destitute, I went hither, on equal ground, Dreamt damp beds per sensitive trudge, Last marrow withered essence within, Cracked, my breath spit out sounds, Standing, midst heaven and earth, Nature projects, outline a mirage, It grew to each wavering vapor, Beautiful flower be it so trivial, Blinded via the desert heat, I know it to be, delighted, I rush in haste to hug it, And last of my depth, In its touch of me, I didst bleed out, Penitent pose, As life flees, Gist of me, Knelt I, Dies. 2020 February 26 *3rd Place* Warning ~~Richard Lamoureux
