Stealing Light




This Chollo Cactus reflects
sunlight so elegantly
it appears to be illuminant.
It is as if this cactus
rivals the sun's power
producing its own light.
But it is desert trickery.
The Chollo steals sunlight
from that source of plenty
and offers it to us,
who have so little
illumination of our own.
