Desert(ed)

the boy awakens

opens his still hazy eyes

looks wearily around

sand, lots of dull greyish brown sand

coarse to the touch

touch, the lonely boy with the caloused heart trys to remember the sensation

wandering through the desert he gets lost in his own mind

hard as his attempts, his failure is twice that

and despite the head under the sun, he is chilled to the bone

alone, another day begins
