saddling sandstorm soul
shedding stealthy swift shy smile
showcases silence

Touch Me Not

Cascading clouds
Walking ahead swaying
Black waterfall

Touch Me Not

Butterfly interrupted.
Fear grips the flowers
eaten by the winds.

I seek the guilt for
not walking on the dunes
to build a sky.

The cracked roof
lets in the rain. I 
drench my driftwood.

One day a god will sit
on my altar to speak
to ailing mother-

earth hauling away
the burden of waste
of human verbiage.
