High Desert Valentine

Finally alone I can see
how hard I fought
to get to where
I would be left alone
to listen to the quiet
voices on dead beaches
of ancient oceans
and dust-devils unwinding
like baby hurricanes
practicing for the big day
on prickly-pear and quail
in the high desert of my sins
where I’m not waiting for anyone
where I’m going on alone
