the playa calls

by Michele Schottelkorb

in the recesses of our minds
theories beckon; questions beg
 
answer us this:
 
from whence we came, we should return
can we?
 
eyespopopen w i d e
a thousands lights in the midnight sky
 
smell the dust
lick the salt
 
ponder on this for a thousand years
 
reap the rewards of silence
and enjoy
(enjoy the silence)
 
a copper ring glistens
a bejeweled forehead smiles
 
listen for a moment
and feel through your exterior
 
the playa calls... we hear you

Fantastic imagery that meshes with natural and introspective tones. Great verse.
