You Need to Have a Plan


A roadmap of the lungs,
a slight exaltation resulting in
burning clothes, a broken ankle—
the kind of thing you get from

hitchhiking a desert come nightfall.
Delighting in the scrape of a wing
against the sand, smothering a
guttural growl.

The ancients take their dreams
and run with them, and
in the dusty morning find
There are no humans here.
