Wind
and Sand
the
ambiguity
of
their face
inspires
imperturbable
insolence,
amused
malice.
what
delusions
if not
broken
fragments
of undisguised
illusions
hide
in
a heart of glass?
they
scream blasphemies
echoing
soundless
through
the stifling silence
of
timeless sarcophagi
buried
in
desert sand
where
the wind evokes changes
to
purge the body
of
sickening
damnation
where
the wind evokes purity
from
a motionless wait
of
death
until
they come undone
in a jar of clay.
