Dust
I tumbled down a desert road
The wind dusting my flaccid face
Asking the parched pavement
Where I could find another race
My body was worn by life
Fading beneath an amber sky
Holding onto a jagged horizon
Whose god somehow led awry
I drank from the rusty ruins
Bleeding in humanity’s place
Searching for a fabled sign
That vanished without a trace
My eyes sank into the desert road
Wiping the film from promises past
Leaving the dust of this civilization
For one that would somehow last
