escape



escape route
north to dreams
but dreams do not
await me

escape to the east
or to the west
or south to just about
goddamn anywhere

but here,

here among the flies
and reptiles
cold and bone
in slow-dead desert

this night is vile,
this night is unforgiving,
this night brings
so much more than
just its darkness...

I am warp,
I am unsteady
amid years of sand
and years of night

with nowhere else to go
but here
