In our other life, we will learn the sand language. So, return to your ashes. And tell your remains that it's all over. It's a difficult moment to be bleeding. And let a cloud pass through your grave. She will squeeze her heart to irrigate the desert that has formed. Then...in your head. You'll notice when it stops. Regarding hearing the news. That this life isn't worth, an empty cola can, You stomped on it with your leg! Allow the wind to blow as it pleases. I don't even own a ship. Without question. We'll get together. After a millennium. In a gas tank. Written: August 23, 2021 A Brian Strand your choice Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Brian Strand

Phenomenal write, Lasaad. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I especially liked the ending "We'll get together. After a millennium. In a gas tank." So imaginative!
