Aloe Vera Palo Verde
Blue agave prickly pear
In a forest of saguaro
All assume the form of flames
Imprints of an old volcano
Incited by a blazing sun
That sips the water from the rocks
And leaves me panting dumb
Fires within fires unless I find
I too am burning blooming
Casting off sparks that rise
Out of my desert mind
White as Cereus flowers
Beauty that strikes me blind
