Heights

Out of breath
all this time, still the dust frays
about the evening sun,

like a blood-orange bloom
the desert plays on the spaghetti skies
and a quick hand traces 
old wisdom upon ground
and the crowd adores

Slice frozen time
juicy like popsicle villages 
spurting across the angry teeth
of the world

Return again to the scythes
in the fields we wilt
against the wind
atop the mountain-tops
we scramble down 
to the broken cliffs we cry
in the hurt

lifted to the heights at the end.
