WHAT WE ARE

by Charles Carreon

we are colors fading in the sun

   on tattered fabric

we are bones bleaching in the sand

   next to old rocks

we are buzzards sailing silently

   in high clear blue naked air

we are the waters soaking

   an infinity of interbranching roots

   while wandering aimlessly in search of stillness

we are the ancient sun,

   burning its life away in the throat

   of the sky

we are an old piece of string,

   frayed and coming undone,

black rocks,

   washed with salt for ten million years
