The knowledge
that really matters in life
is how to purify water,
how to grow food,
how to cook and how to build.
We’re not taught
any of that in school.
I need a home,
a safe place where my seeds
take root and become.
Neither stars nor desert
serve physical needs,
but I also need sunsets,
the Milky Way above
and vast desert spaces.
