Sahara Doom Scape

I. Whitening sands upmirror desert glare, Glinting, underneath my mind’s burnt sun… Paling, dream expanse. And there I wander, rootless in some Netherwhere— Mental vagabond, my trek begun… Picaresque romance! II. Whitening bones appear by poison springs, Dread oasis, tempting me to drink. Shining, silver pool, Mirage aglow. A maiden floats on glassine wings— Beckoning me toward the toxic sink. Reckless, I sip cool Blighted waters. Thirsty fool.
