DESERT OF QUESTIONS
Who is the desert swimmer?
From windows stuck closed
By sand and old paint
Emanates a cacophony
Barely decipherable tones.
Who is playing a piano behind a dirty window?
Who is playing a guitar’s seventh chord?
An interval inevitably appears
Silencing noisy confusion.
The mysterious enneagram offers answers
Symbol of evolution
Geometry of time and body types.
Surrounding the Earth Mother
Math and physics whisper
Future sonatas and requiems:
Life and fertility
Death and resurrection
Rites of passage
Sterile sands.
Dormant date seeds on the edge of an oasis
Are surrounded by drought
Where all is naught
When timelessness is everything
In the golden desert of questions.
