“Welcome to the desert of the real.”
–Morpheaus, from the movie, The Matrix
An ever-drying aridity. Step after step across a desert stretching to the horizon. Only the memory of water.
Such an exhaustion that the expression “dead on my feet” is a declaration of enthusiasm. Here, in the heart of the desert, words come as easily as the precious drops acrued on a solar sill.
Yet the only way out is through…
winter wind
the last patch of
dying grass
