desert decorated with
blue plastic bags,
dainty twisted candy wrappers,
oily paper towels,
but cactus fruit flesh degrades in the dust
what carcinogens are seeping into this desert?
landless bodies,
hint of lead in the tajines by the side of the road
he called this the crisis of rainfed crops
but he did not say if this drought ever began
