Desert Valentine

Through my middle years
I hid in a thin wood
along the western side
the darker side
of a gentle slope
among long cold winters
and brief humid summers
during which I hid
waiting for the disaster
or was it my master
to come
of course now
when I look I see
exploded pomegranates
where the finch have fed
outside my desert hut
and you my home
within
