No, I am not talking about an ice cream treat. I am talking about cactus and tumbleweeds. Don't simply describe the desert to me. I just have to look out my window to see it. I want you to breathe life into it, use it as a metaphor, show me the desert like nobody has ever seen the desert before.
Now for the rules:
No rhyme.
Poetry only, no prose, please.
If you really want to win, your poem will be full of imagery, metaphor, symbol and allusion.
Thanks!

I've been hoping to find one of your contests that I can write for (I haven't written anything in a LONG time except for that 3 second birthday poem
lol), and I think this might finally be the one! 
I'll see what I can do
