Blue Silk


What if life were
a blue billowing silk-sheet

that you,
in the cool desert sunset,
could turn aside

and walk out of
like a tangling tent.

How small and how petty
ones life would seem
out there

in the cool evening air
where scorpions crawl
without claim.

Interesting picture here, Broken foot!

But wouldn't WE be crawling out there without claim, too?
