There was a desert
we use to walk through
when the sun came through
like the dry heat that stung through the air

long curls riding down my shoulder
with your arm around my neck
father,
step by step

When the heat
reached the Dead Sea
you were near me
with the salt at our knees
you held my head to the sky
to the cosmic wonders
that rode through the starry sky
as we invited ourselves for
dinner that night

Just you and I
the land you buried your feet in
when you use to play
as the rockets sailed by

The place you called home
is now mine to follow
and the desert feels our skin
every time we walk together in the summer wind

Father,
my eyes come from you.

This...is poetry.  This is the kind of free-verse I wish I could come up with.  Enjoyed the visuals.
