nomad
traveling within my veins,
i’m a gutsy nomad—
trailblazing my fearless horizons,
dazzlingly straddling my starlit galaxies.
i pause and reflect,
collapsing into the shadows of my mirages,
roaming mirrors and rippling pools of passion.
my camels burst the skins of my riverbanks,
saturating the contours of my singing dunes.
as the stormy deserts
drum upon my raging heart,
zigzag sky-spears pierce the songs of my soul,
electrifying all the melodies of my canyons.
my treasure chests escape
the parched prayers of my burial sites,
spilling their grains of promise,
delighting my deserted caravans.
i shed my shattered suns,
destinations of the dusty devils—
the eye of the needle
smiling upon my fleets of fantasies.
all my thirsts are quenched,
and my skies forever satiated!
