            Unstable dunes

            Looking at the ground
            You're counting your toes again.
            You stopped feeling a long time ago
            The sand gliding through them;
            You feel only your face
            Maliciously burnt by the sun.
            You're following your path
            But you don't dare to look up


            You know perfectly what's surrounding you-
            They told you everything about the unstable dunes;

            They warned you about the sun
            And how you're not supposed to look at it.
            Suddenly you scream
            And you allow yourself
            To slowly melt on the sand
            Leaving a small trace behind
            Rapidly erased by the unstable dunes.
            What you don't get to see
            Is how your screams are turning into birds
            That will one day

            Reach
            The sun.
                                                                                            ​Bristena
