Journey Through the Night

 

Sunset
draws me back home
to good food and coolness
—
from the backyard the mountain range
fades out.

Midnight—
I hear traffic
on the night desert air
—
in my dreams I visit unique
places.

A beach
lined with palm trees,
cooling white waves and sand,
in the distance blue skies and waves
—
surf's up

The cat
pokes her cold nose
in my hair, begging food
—
in the kitchen bacon frying
—
breakfast.
