You sit in the forgotten bone-dry hillssurrounded by sand and sagebrushabove Buffalo Pound Lake. A day and a night, and thenthree more days and nights.Do not mark the hours. Just situntil the prickly pear raises its bloom. A pale thing, translucent moon, sea anemone,the first thin veil of a cataract that will lead a manto the necessity of seeing with another kind of eye. Can you birth a thing like this flower?Elemental, composed of water and light.The concentrated effort of pure will. The blossom wilts and dropswithout sadness, nothing resemblingnostalgia or regret.
