Burning your desert down (Free verse) by Jeremi B. Handrinos
"Burn desert down"
Said boy little
Outside from mouth
Outsiding love
Outside of head,
and explosion
of colours for
none to see
All of this sand
moving
towards, away
over things alive
and dead.
An old man in an El Camino
that has just come down the
mountain
asks,
"Are you all alone master?".
I nod, and look towards
where my father waivered out
more than a day ago.
"You are not alone son,
look at all of those
tarantula holes".
Why he thought that funny
is why I did not laugh.
He had it outside too,
and man, I mean good.
The day the desert burnt down.
