Sky fades

   to a dusty canvas
   as silky ribbons of sunset flame
   drip through the air and 
   fall heavily on past the horizon.

Night breathes,

   careful not to disturb.

Moon wavers

   on a pool 
   rippled by inquisitive tongues
   and soft-treading feet.

Eyes watch, 

   perched on somber cacti
   burrowed in cool silt
   stalking over dry lands, searching.

Morning looms,

   washing through the serenity.

Sun rises

   in fiery fury
   and burns the blue away.
