If Sartre was right
and
“Hell Is—Other People”
then
Isolation holds the key
that
opens perception’s door

Leaving The Oasis
Greatness
is condemned to loneliness
as the desert calls
magnifying the instant
through the burning glass
unleashing its essence
in the fire of possibility
spreading old ashes reborn
—upon the sand
