A Night in the Desert

Slow creaking,

Whispering voices praying in the distance

For the annihilation

Of religion

To come before

They meet their end.

 

Paper pushed across a desk.

Words glanced upon and forgotten.

Newspaper headlines

And short lived lives

Intertwined

Into a cache of coins from different

Currencies.

 

Dry lines

Of ancient blood

Buried leagues

Beneath the violent sand storms

Run as though replenished 

By oxygen in the veins of their kin

As God’s word in the hearts of his.

 

Slow creaking,

Loud footsteps nearing close;

Closer.

And pass by

Like a platoon of rain clouds.
