Trapped
in the dolorous dunes
I
strolled aimlessly gazing
The
scorching sun incinerating
All the
hapless mere beings
Horrified,
I gathered air
And
heaved for every set step
Unaware
of the boundaries
I went
on, perspiring.
Hostile
sands burned
My weathered
feet
Murderous
winds blew
To
throw me off the horizon
Time
seemed stopping
Pain
seemed surging
Hope
seemed cunning
I
prayed ghastly.
Vultures
circled above
Smelling
dying breaths below
I
thrived to increase pace
Out
there in the sickening place
Just
when my feet were dying
Civilization
unveiled to my eyes
Rejuvenated
and invigorated
I ran
burning the last of my hydrates.
