desert’s death cavity orphaned bodies bare
we struggle to make peace with the cold
noon ghosts the sounds of caged birds
winter the woken flesh tender to touch
first light lithe bodies floating in grey
fighting the tides bedsheets stranded on shore
strange
this virus’ will
to survive
late noon the rain serenades crime scene
the rare visitor hummingbird inspects pots
