Sahara

it knows little

 

it knows no tongue

 

only steps and wind

it knows no name

only steps and wind

it knows no fear

only steps and wind

it knows no hope

only steps and wind

it knows no joy

only steps and wind

it knows no future

only steps and wind

 

the sand knows little

 

but what is more

than steps and wind?

the sand knows much

each step

each breeze

begets contrived eternity
