Lazarus Out of Water

Beatrix M


Dunes swallow secrets.
Her gaze sears into my skin.
Our desert symphony: two women,
lost in echo chambers.
I wear her photo, a morbid crown,
as the sun succumbs to darkness.
We're entwined in a waltz of decay,
our steps tracing the same bitter cadence.


The bitter smiles, fake and confused
Unsure of why and when enveloped them
The sun won't set it's gorgeous rays
On one so entrenched in sin
