the passing drum band
part, the first
hauling through the desert
the passing drum band-
the unending rhythm
taste the dust storm
the thump of my feet raw response
each oncoming moment- the last; but yet to come
following the north star
the answer- an end
what was the question
the soldiers on skeleton camels
to what war do i march forward to
where was my solidarity when the band passed
scorched- exhausted death march
the old man always told- foretold
his stories; old as the desert
or the star which scorched the earth
which burned the roots
his tongue was with the soldiers
the verse rode the wind
part, the second
with the clouds; non-presence
written on scrolls
as old as the sun which scorched the earth
the north star just as old-
but the drum band has passed
with the dust we once tasted
please enjoy. the sahara is a long journey and we all need entertainment
