Ochre Sands and Chiselled Bones
or The Palace Wheels
Scrubbed, parched desert land Hurtling across brooding forts aflame in ancient past.
Beauty and honour preserved In latticed yellow of filigreed elegance
the Palace Wheels past memories of dim-lit corridors, and other trains where ochre sands glint on hair lines of chiselled bones, breaking futile journeys that ended long ago.
Slumbering children sleep soundly. There is much laughter and many trivial pursuits that you have yet to follow.
And I am still awake.
