Thirty-nine finds the desert lovely, Having little need and much desire. In her there is a hunger for pure being Reflected in the emptiness she's seeing, The bare bones of an earth consumed by fire. Years, like raindrops, leave the land still thirsty. Nothingness becomes a source of beauty In which one sees the end and the beginning, Nemesis that does all life inspire, Each spark of light that knows what's more enduring.
