III.

This is the dead land
This is cactus land 
Here the stone images 
Are raised, here they receive 
The supplication of a dead man’s hand 
Under the twinkle of a fading star.

Propelled from the car
Ascending then descending
In a graceful arc onto the
Hard, hot pavement
The body bounced
Just as Newton had pronounced.
