mixed with prairie grass and tumbleweed
the heat of the sun beating on them by day
the mountain winds that spread the seeds
they mushroom into fantasies
fuel for the desert fires to feed
igniting with lightning speed
monsoons come and wash them away
extinguish the fires, cool the heat
one by one they grow again
nourished anew with the spring rain
to blow and drift like tumbleweeds
the vicious cycle starts over again
