cactus blooming

Bright stars illuminate passages between treachery and glory,

At dawn some of the possibilities scatter across the sky

Others stay hidden beneath the shade of an obvious story

Painted lights on party patios strung between truth and lie

There is danger passing through the desert without insight or guidance

Patrons of progress and development sow dusty seeds of convenience

Remnants of  culture, scraps of common purpose shattered in the process
