Perspective

Walking in the wash

the desert is wetted

with passing rain,

thick beds of mud

like mocha chocolate,

heavy and sticky,

sludge on shoes

want to take a stick and

write something in it

nothing comes to me...

but "chocolate or mud?"

a perspective thing

good or bad?

grief or celebration?

And without tasting it...?

could be either...!
