Marie Rennard - Blind as a moth

Blind as a moth

Kissing Joshua tree

Inutile a lui meme

But vital to the whole

Life will be born

From el Corazon del desierto

Sin arroyo ningun

No showers, nor tears

Empty and wide

Essential

Weltenweiten

(Marie Rennard)

Its strange form confused Mormon emigrants who believed, from far, that their prophet himself was waving arms to welcome them, so they decided to settle in this place. The Joshua tree is fertilized by the eggs of a special moth that can only be found in the places where those trees are, and both species seem to have no reason at all to exist, except to ensure each other s living.
