California Desert Heart
I found a woman’s heart in a California desert
there was no doubt it belonged to a female
un-phased by the blazing sand, I knew
no pulse could beat so effortlessly
in the rays of an incessant sun
like that of a woman
And dancing was she by herself
in her own content
in the palm of a barren sea, her heart
drew in onlookers like that of a Joshua tree
but never did she leave with anyone
There is no doubt the female heart is as hungry
as a stirred rattlesnake but will not strike
unless provoked.
