The desert beckons with spiny torrents
cruciferous sand aflame in wandering desire
Rising plumes of air float in dislocation
as the dusty chagrin of the soil
denies their slumber
Swirling masses of burning dreams
coalesce the bright eyed bold songbird
into a kaleidoscope of monumental ingenuity
Daring feats that bewilder
weary entranced onlookers
Confused yet awestruck
they tilt their heads
fearlessly begin to wonder
if they are alive
or
is their entire existence
a mirage
cruciferous sand aflame in wandering desire

weary entranced onlookers
Confused yet awestruck
