[Critique Group 2] Joan for April

Desert Rain
by Joan Myles

three people head into the desert

the old man’s pockets bulge with souvenirs

the young man’s pilsner is never empty

the woman lives two thousand miles away

three people in  cellophane overcoats

the old man’s love strangles his heart

the young man’s love juggles tulips and thistles

the woman’s love peers through a telescope inward

three people treading solitude

the old man is filled with remembering

the young man is filled with forgetting

the woman is filled with being

three people head into griefs desert

side by side without seeing

without hearing without knowing the others are there

because the rain is too dense
