A Dry Heat

A hunger for change

Has filled me with a switch.

Nothing seems to stop moving.

Now I am but dizzy

And tired.

Breathing is a labored exercise

When light feels heavy.

My chest will rise and fall

It’s like a dynasty that way

It won’t last.

Why does thirst rule me?

My Saharan mouth is disgusting.

I just want to roll over again

And watch mirages like movies

Wait for me.

Minutes turn to memories

And sweat has moistened my soul.

I am battling a sickness

Undeserving of the syringe.

Again I’ll stand.
