The midday sun, a
ceaseless predator
And everything with breath becomes its prey.
With heavy steps, a trek in Thermidor
until caught in sudden wind-borne foray
in fiery sands the camel's kneel, hip to breast
a toughened wall as glassy razors blow
Men found scant cover and a blessed rest
beneath the Camel’s shadow; where fears grow
beneath the Camel’s shadow; where fears grow
amid fiercest howls, prayerful maroons
await the songs of gently wind-kissed sands
in quiet peace, to glyph the wavy dunes.
A paradox of dark and frigid lands,
in moonlit breaths the silvered vapors rise
'neath Camel’s shadow, men and beasts, close eyes
