Desert Makes Love
Desert Makes Love
Desert makes love to us forever in the sand
It shared our flesh with buzzards when we crashed
Our crew was killed below the dune for lack of fuel
Jet exploded. Desert heals. It forgives all in time
The water-less beach became an open tomb
A mirage of life pursued
Trembling waves of burning heat exposed us
Gave illusions we were moving and of life
Winds licked our pure white bones with care
Sun bleached and bathed us in its love
Desert transformed and blended all the remnants
Of what were men among the living
In with all the other grains, swirling on the land
There is no pain remembered as
Desert makes love to us forever in the sand
It shared our flesh with buzzards
But now it has us for its own
Invited home before the light of day
