Haiku Heights

Desert

desert ice blue-black
once swirling sand snakes lie still
as night sweet night reins

  10. Thank you all for reading my haiku. Last Sept. I fell down the house stairs. I broke my are and dislocated and ruptured my elbow. Still in great pain and hard to type. Once thanks as it is good to be back.
