Swing time is over.
I’m tired and wander through an apocalyptic portal; 
albeit a motel. 
Landscapes of red dunes brandish the theme and the hot air hits me square in the face.

The bed spread, the rugs, the pictures hung askew with intent
That sent me into a sleep I can only surmise as a coma. 
Dreaming to sleep.
