And the Sun, our golden one, was distraught, my kin
How is this possible? She cried
As her tears fell in hot flashes across the desert sky…
And it was all desert; and the desert was all
Even my brother is complicit! She moaned
As the Moon glowed pale and cold in the desert sky
And it was all desert; and the desert was all
She looked in vain to the winds:
North
South
East
and West
As they howled hoarsely across the desert plains
Do not bend! The Sun admonished Rain, Thunder and Lightning
Do not lend your might!
You know it is not right…
But they had no choice: they had to weave and strike
To be pawns in a never-ending fight
It will be desert! She cried
It will all be desert; and the desert will be all
