Desert Poetry

Through a fence, down the ballast a little

Up a ladder, into the well, I exhale against my pack

Looking up at the stars, I hear the consoling hiss of the pneumatic lines

Thinking that self-help never felt so free, I hurtle off into the euphoric now

Instantly erasing what was and what will

The deafening reality that the present is the only thing that ever is
