Colors Of Dust


        Colors of Dust,
        of gloom and glow-
        Colors of dirt and rock
             and centuries
        of stumbling
        looking skyward.
        
        How the stars must
                have figured,
        sharply delineating direction
        amid these softly mounded
        mountains that
        crumble
        with pebbles
        and goat turd.
        
        The Bedouin tents are pitched
        Huge woolly rooms
        swaged to keep out
                sun
            wind
        eyes
        
        watching us
        zoom past.
