Excerpt from Joshua Trees

Bloom On The Desert's Edge

Dawn inks in the saw-toothed foothills
against its nickel glare;
and, like the tail end of a flare,
a handful of stars
drag their light through the spikes of a Joshua tree
and sink out of sight.

Night flattens and thickens;
and noiselessly working,
like a mind full of dreams,
spectral exhalations
wind with wool
the acacias' fish-bone leaves.

Time heaves
and lies dead still
an instant's eternity.
Everything waits.
Everything listens.
Chill stillness fills
everything
like the shadow
of a great wing.

A patch of alkali glistens.

And fiercely the sun clears the foothills
and the sky is mercury
hissing with mirage where it eats into the land,
and the air is yellow with acacias in full bloom.

Napoleon's thoughts before Jena must have come like this.
