“there is nothing in the desert

and no man needs nothing”

a double negative

(as the two noes cancel one another out)

generates a positive

but what, then, of three

a trinity

what i named this image

gathered from the ocean’s edge

on the third day of march

am i the crafter

or the craft

the artist or muse

or something i cannot name

but perhaps

ennui

or esoterica would serve

no man needs nothing

everyman needs everything

but what of woman

what does she need

a strong hand at the small of her back

or has she a trinity

or is she a trinity

and do you believe
