green is a soft color
brown the much tougher one
that heat-beaten
wind-battered hue
of cliffs and crags
lizards and coyotes
thorns and sand
and everything dead
blue is the vacuous
waterless sea above
our sun not yellow
but laser white
a cruelty killing dreams
of all colors
and the few rafts
of clouds I see above
look down
but with no good beach
to go ashore
just keep going
