Haiku-heights theme: desert
long my shadow falls
across your sheer faces –
the low angled sun
.
a fine thread sewn
into the curved hips of dunes
footsteps in the sand
.
each grain of rice climbs
the arcuate dune lifting
ripple by ripple
.
yearning for water
winds dry the salt on my skin
a deceitful kiss
.
the sky shimmers
seven colours play
with promise
.
sand grains jump
excitedly
emulating rain
.
just a shower
of heavenly light – all else
evaporates
