Rainless
Early November, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California
swiftly passing clouds
lizards haunt the brittlebush—
no more hope for rain

The arid regions yearn for the respite. It gets elusive most times. Wonderful lines MMT!

I liked it. Leaves you longing and thirsty.
We don’t realize how “long” that really is out here. Beautiful lines, we can feel and see the longing.
when even a briefly passing shadow brings relief…
But perhaps the prayers might get answered 🙂
when I lived in the desert, I always wondered where the rain finally fell …
Indeed. I love the way you capture the desert with your words.
