Like A Sand Spill In The Desert


 

Moonlight pointing the tips of the acacia, lighting the sparse low clouds sailing the early night sky.

Imprint of fabric on my left cheek, where I, breathing into my pillow, had counted out the minutes and heartbeats of my mortality.

Rough baked brick under my palm, leaning upon the gritty wall seat. Cabbages at my back, feathering their leaves down my shirt. 

And I, thinking only of that time when I will

Burst this ego-sac

And flow

Like low clouds sailing

Like sticky water flowing

Like a sand spill down the fissure in the deep desert

And merge once more

Into the All.
