Alkali Flats

the Mojave flats shimmer
under a pale flat sky
pastel mountains float just out of reach
the occasional mesquite's thin bleached leaves wait for rain which won't come this year nor next
and our thirst for green will wait
unsatisfied while we pretend our air-conditioned cars will bring salvation
from perpetual sunshine and an empty Heaven
