desert rock



my wrinkled heart like the desert rock
is indifferent to the passers by
neither the scorching sun of the day
nor the coldest wind leaves a mark


my skinny frame desires none, needing
no one to admire, or to consider
for a keep sake for a shorter, or
a longer care for her safekeeping


my matured mind needs no props, support
from dogma, or assurance with cultic
promises for sailing across the gigantic
ocean, for i’m a rock in the desert
