-by Natalie Goldberg, intro in Banana Rose
If we have no soul
Something aches in us anyway
Heaves our breath
Pumps our blood
Sun thrown across tree tops
Do you see New Mexico?
Wind storms crack across it
Days break against it
I hurt for dry dirt
Big sky
Bell in a tower
Sage across the eye
Burnt land
Old sand carcass
Your rosebuds are hardening
Your leaves turning
My heart burning
