Void

arid burial, persistence of
desolation lingering...
slow the aqueous slither
 
of lifeblood flow
oasis sway
slow
sway away 
drain liquid savior's trace
 
dazed... wounded, traverse
void; eclipse
lowered graves bore
cradling bounties of illusion
mirages our salves
 
corrupted earth
commandeers thirsts
yet to slake, extinguish
beneath desertbound cracks
upon wicked frailty of land
 
timely extinction of upper glow
claims morning, absence of
time claims eternity;
barren midnight is infinity
to human eyes
 
arid burial, as all know
omnipotence of crushing
dusk eclipse...
but is it dusk...?
I can't tell beneath the earth.
