legitimate reason for not posting...

It's kind of ironic to post to tell you that I'm not going to be posting for a while, as I've been super lame in the last couple of months, but I'm going to tell you anyway: the blog is going to be legimately silent for a week.

Why?

Because I'll be here:

This Desert Land

Joseph Bayly


I said
this desert land is barren
void of life and beauty.
I drive for miles
see nothing
only sand and sage
feel nothing
only wind and heat
taste nothing
but spit dried spit.
He said
have you ever driven
in spring
through this same desert
seen blossoms flower
gorgeous wild?
It's all a thing of timing.
Seeds of beauty
are there now hidden
waiting fall of rain
to bring them life.
Lord send rain
upon my world
my life
I'm tired of dried spit.
