The Lone Cowboy and the Cactus Land
He rides beneath a sky of burning light, A shadow stretching wide across the plain. His boots are weathered, his hands are stiff with dust, Yet in his eyes, the calm of open land. The cactus stands vast, hard and still— Green scars that mark the path he must make. Each choice he’s made, each trail he’s had to make Leaves dried...

A lean coyote chases a hare through heat of desert winds. His swift doe darts past my boots. They've managed to escape, this time. He'll lead the chase away another day. I pause to watch the side-winder as he considers a kangaroo rat, before moving on between two century plants to a rock ledge nearby. The tidy yellow rat continues eating seeds, gleaning moisture, never...

Under an amber sky, in a world of rock and cactus, I feel like a fragment of a dream, feeding my desires from harsh stones and dry winds, I, a dwindling minority, lost in the eternal dance of pavement and deals, while the world around me dresses in new clothes, shimmering in fine saloons, and I feel crushed between...

Premium Member The Cactus
In a sunlit corner of the garden a large, proud cactus stood tall in a green pot in front of a gilded mirror admiring itself resplendent in its armor of long spines and crowned with a purple flowering hat, until yesterday when it toppled over decapitated by a bug who was hard to see and had dined for days on the gooey center of its swollen vanity. ...

Dear Cactus
Dear Cactus, understood I your real worth, While shielding you from disdain’s cruel mirth. On the plant rack, I placed you so low, Just to save you from eyes that do not know. ...

A cactus, me and full of spines, But deep in side are wet confines, And so they sprout away from me, Protecting from the enemy. Go question all and they will say, That they define my prickly way, But past the spines, you’ll find in part, I really have a softer heart. For animals will search to find, Beneath the skin and tucked behind, And...

Something
Like raindrops glued to the car's window, like platters of water on the road remain, as shallow as to stand with pain under the mud, we stand here, trying to reach for something, like cactus roots reaching down to hell, there's deepness buried down the ground, with hands reaching for heaven, so long, so long.......
