Desert Dweller

Grasses sway
on the desert breeze.
Wherever we stand, there is life.
That is what we write.

A cat purrs.
However narrow the ground,
our words and phrases
are an echo
of the life where we stand.

The dishwasher
clicks and swishes
to the backbeat
of ‘Scarborough Fair’
stuck in my head.
