Skeletons of Tumbleweeds
Skeletons of tumbleweeds dance in my dreams
I fantasize about far away places
Blown by the winds of fate
Scattered
Sometimes shattered
Left to my own devices to rebuild
Just as time is a construct
I’m struck
By the idea that so is happiness
It’s such a temporary feeling
Fleeting
Healing
From my past takes a lifetime
As a desert wind blows
I secure the hat on my head
I brave the conditions
Unable to stay still
One foot placed in front of the other
Until I’m halfway somewhere else
Anywhere but here
Never going back
Never settling
Searching for the words to say
On a 2 lane Texas highway
Marfa as my muse
My gravity
always tucked in my back pocket
A head full of wish
I tumble on
