One
had courage,
had compassion,
not to tell me,

but to be my

friend,

and to ask me
how it would be

for the rest,

if I
thought

the sun would burn their eyes,
their hides.

The desert is dry,

scorching hellish dry,
not for everyone,

almost not for me, but
I can't not walk.

Not everyone has to walk, but

everyone can choose to

think -

about why the desert exists,

and could there be water if
the line joining hands were long enough,

and how we could grow the grasslands
to stop the desert's spread.
