Lost in a Desert by Newinkwell Poet Tuesday, April 19, 2005 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
In the chaos of this night shadows walk past. I try to collect, to save them, but they slip from my hands. In the vastness of the desert, sand plays a losing game with life. I live its confusion searching cross-hatched memories of some map. My progress erases each day. Copyright � 2005, All Rights Reserved.��

"Sand plays a losing game with life. / I live its confusion / searching cross-hatched / memories of some map. / My progress erases each day." Wonderful layering here and fabulous word/image play with the sands of time. I love the tightness and lucidity here: that final image is stark. Very well done. Welcome to The Den :) TY Kate
