Sandman

 
sandman stands in the desert
like Lot’s wife in a salt sea
surverying the wild waste
knowing they are the same
 
pray the cool breath-borne breeze
washes over gritty brow
to carry the worried world away
one
grain
at
a
time
lost on the wind
a ghost trailing into the sky
yearning to go away away
returned to the deep red clay
to sleep till the final day
