Curtains parting (Day 982)

Red dirt falls away to either side  

curtains parting to reveal a road  

vanishing like smoke in the dusk 


and a strange sweet longing rises 

with the moon   not wanting this 

to end   for sunrise to remain 


perpetually on the opposite side 

of a vast desert sky  promises 

only suggested  cannot be broken
