Crystals

By Ediney Santana

I was in the desert,
I saw souls
of scorpions, snails
drinking beers.

I talked to a cactus,
I kissed a stone.

The desert has life.

Lights, Snakes, Dreams.

Have you ever died
to be reborn?

You don't know what loneliness is.

I was in the desert,
a seahorse took me home.
