Deathly Immortality

by Lea Tonin1

The silent "S", the silken plea a golden promise

Slick pale sheets, glinting drapes on rounded hills.

Beckons travellers to stride the spell binding dry paths

A trick she has with grainy kisses switching faces.

Loses the group with moving mounds by wind

No grip in the living sands, grains of fraudulence.

Bearing new lands with sandy hair twirling in the wind

Our travelers past revealed with mummified pallor.

The desert takes life quickly. Generally, by thirst and shifting sands can be deceptive for direction and for landmarks. So the desert kills without remorse. At the same time can preserve a person for thousands of years, a sort of life.
