Dry as a Bone

The sky opens in your eyes.

I fly into them like a bird into the sky.

Cover your eyes

And I fall back to earth.

*

Dry as a bone,

And turned to dust.

*

This is your sky where I'm drowned.

This is your desert where I'm lost.

I crawl on my knees

And turn my face to you:

My oasis,

My oasis.
