Dolphins leaping up
from setted sun reflection,
land in mirrored stars
Palestine moon rise
sand beneath sage brush, both painted
with cool blue answers
Two birds of prey
circle in a hot high sun
carrion below
A prophet answers
questions of gathered people
with single sand grains
Rains begin falling
on ancient drought aged dirt flats
first draughts of ocean
To a new ocean
dolphins swim from older seas
the first mammals there
Dolphins leaping up
through rising sun's reflections
remember night's stars
