Since Father Died
Since father died last year,
the desert has all but disappeared.
The hundred degree temperatures
have fallen below zero.
A Century Plant’s
hundred years are up.
The San Jacinto Mountains lie so flat,
they’re dwarfed by dew.
All roads leading into Indio
are closed forever and a day.
In the new Coachella Valley,
the once mighty sun is just a candle.
