Brief

brown and brown
arms waving up and down
points to the dawn of air
upon its down
the fringes of tessellated yellow floating
amid the blond stalks of grasses
argus you are beautiful and so alone
rare and ponderous in that brief tenure
of this hollow in the heavens
brown and brown
hips lilting up and down
wide eyed baby eyes wide and watered
glimmering upon the arid plain
along the tracks that animals have made
for centuries and dust, coveted dust
has covertly hid
where your bruised and fragile feet made wander
upon the fringes of existence
