Unprepared Valentine

One day left to prepare
To drive through the desert I love
To arrive at the open sea
 
It’s so archetypal it makes me
Shiver despite
The rampant heat
 
Alone I go into the wilderness
Of smoke trees and sage
Flowering after the storm
 
Into the land where the Anasazi
Disappeared not so mysteriously
When the dirt ran out
 
Some headed toward the sea like me
Death nipping at our heels
Knowing it would save us
