Desert
Karen Benke
In your eyes I saw only trails,
Though you said you did want to lead me –
You said this reaching back for my hand.
We walked into a fevered desert
Out where clouds rise and disappear,
Out where I could not see
Your caring for me was a choice
I could not make.
Still we continued
Beyond contradiction
My doubt, my desire
Sifting into sand.
