Scenes From A Desert Town

The trees buckle and sway

Moving like the current

Dodging the bully wind

Desperate to stand tall

*

The dirt speck sent flying

Nothing to hold purchase

It follows a new path

In hopeful search of peace

*

The lizard on the wall

Its reactions are swift

Always searching danger

It will find its haven

*

The blood on the pavement

Predators plentiful

It could be the dry heat

Driving man to the brink

*
