desert undressing
her dune shifting sand
under night chill waxing
painted in badland tone
she slips beneath shadows
of her whispered song
longing to hold you
to her heart

    “she slips beneath shadows / of her whispered song” Excellent! And the Badlands are awesome to visit.

      Thanks Bob. Yeah, I used to drive through the North Dakota Badlands every year as a kid for summers spent in Montana. One year, I made an impromptu road trip to Wounded Knee and drove through the South Dakota Badlands to get there. That trip was amazing in so many ways.
