Love Poem: Desert Love

Desert Love

I met you in a season,
as I recall, it was cool;
we dated through the warmth,
not the hottest of the 4 -- 
Falls I can’t recall...cactus
have no leaves; and summer-heat 
bakes away all thought -- 

Yet, deserts, though little water,
have an abundance of romance:
wet kisses between the barbs.  I met
you in a season, 2 stray saguaros
locking arms.
