Mexico is too far to consider. Arizona is a day away.
The sands beckon elaboration.

My voice is dry.

My voice is a sunken husk steering the horizon.
I thirst; the sands thirst with me, stalk quietly behind me.

The sun begins.

The sun begins. I begin to speak.

I have a dream slithered up the base of my skull.
It is a wounded grace babbling over wasted space and pain.
It is ***** all demanding the lie;
the salt stirs my skin; stirs my hair; begins to increase.

It is always a lie.

The canyons tell prayer, fallen in the depths of the sea.
The mountains sell dust and fire crawling to our fear.

Twenty-two miles

Twenty-two miles.

Mexico is too far to consider. Arizona is a day away.
The sands beckon elaboration.

My voice is dry.

My voice is a sunken husk steering the horizon.
I thirst; the sands thirst with me, stalk quietly behind me.

The sun begins.

The sun begins. I begin to speak.

I have a dream slithered up the base of my skull.
It is a wounded grace babbling over wasted space and pain.
It is ***** all demanding the lie;
the salt stirs my skin; stirs my hair; begins to increase.

It is always a lie.

The canyons tell prayer, fallen in the depths of the sea.
The mountains sell dust and fire crawling to our fear.

i agree w/ Dri, i especially like how you tie different things into the the twenty two miles theme, i know that sometimes what i want seems so close yet so far away, great write.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
