He approached his own
Mortality
Sidewinder style
Sliding his mind
Above, away, up
From the burning sand
Of self
As much as possible,
Impossible to burrow
Down too deep
To see
Where his death
Might lead him.
_
Leaving whip-crack tracks
Across the sand
Sidewinding his way
Across the surface
Across the desert
Across the furnace.
