Shoreline safe, tickling salt water teases my lips
the sensation, land locked snug, surrounds the drenched soul

worn out woman revolve, staring the blue sky above
washed ashore, the choice to stay, attached to dry

arid desert journey don't mind the sweat
1 thousand steps strong the thirst is disturbing

crawling slithering snake too quick to scream
big bugs grasp the dripping crave from hunger

Eucalyptus frontier shades the hot from my brow
lone the journey sans the memento of my own

dark returns again my shadowless sight
peers in the outward fire crackling heat

windy night sky holler, too many stories
crashing the committed calm the beating stars  

warm embraceable flame licking light
the turn to go stops 1 less step 2night
