Oasis It's dry here the sand it burns. The sun is baking the wind is cutting. No water forever lips swollen, burning. Stumbling in this sand struggling to stay off my knees. Death is laughing waiting with the birds. So many yesterday's tomorrow seems dark, blank. Chasing false mirages a glimpse of green, sweet green. Crawling with last bit of strength praise God; it's life, it's water! Just before the ending this saving happens again. Another killer desert, defeated with His oasis... just in time.

thanks sis! i have been posting archival stuff over at the corner pub. Y'all probably have copies of that 70's, 80's and 90's stuff...but if not you can see abit. I put the first published piece "A Time" there and then and left a typo (that-in line three)in the text. What a dunce i am sometimes, eh? so where is the WC posting? i haven't seen anything since the FabFour, my dear... bleeding... "Tis ink coming from his arm, Captain!" |
