sands

[upsetmyheart]

it snakes 
as it writhes, 
as it sears my lash beds. 
rising fear...
i finally discern.

it moves across the desert 
seamlessly,
as does a baby 
sighing 
her fleeting relief.

give me your hands!
tangle your arms 
through mine.
we will not survive this
alone.

it howls and moves 
from a distance at best...
hold your breath!
close your eyes!
cling to me!

gnashing our skin

These words would be electrifying spoken.

You gave such movement to this piece which really added to its message.

I love the stanza:

"it moves across the desert
seamlessly,
as does a baby
sighing
her fleeting relief."

this is what i was aiming for. movement; rush; panic. thanks!
