After the dance in the sand ( For Chisolum)


The dunes keep me company 


My heart grows bare
As the shadow of the storm
Fades
And the perks
Of the whirlwind grows
Frail;
My eyes sprout
Beyound fairy tales.

It was day and I groped,
Searching for your face
When you merely came and
Melted away
As nightfall comes,
Like the owl,
I unfold alive.

Brought to submission
To the gods,
As the sand sinks
The remnants
Of your shadow,
I keep my bow.

But, my head I thrust
Beyound this exile-
This gathering of the misty cloud
And through my glistening eyes
I pour libation
To the gods.
