Mojave
Barren—they call you and now
it is your badge of honor, one
you wear proudly on display.
They likened you to a desert for
a lack of children and lack of
desire for them.
Be Mojave—Gobi—Sahara—
because your glittering, glass sand dunes
are great
and bearing fruit and flowers
is your prerogative and yours alone.
