the man calls

by Michele Schottelkorb

the man calls

our pilgrimage to the desert

beckons

soft voices

calling sweetly, darkly, quietly

in our ears

my home~ a pink sky

shall wait…

 

for the desert calls

the burning of the man

…we anticipate our fate

repetition can make or break a piece. this one is brief, so in my opinion, it can do one of two things. the second one i thought weakened it, until i realized (i'm more than a little slow sometimes) that it was setting a pace and tone. i still feel that it could be stronger, but... c'sera. :) it's also three in the morning.
