<h1>Into The Dunes</h1>
<hr aria-hidden="true" />
<hr aria-hidden="true" />
<p>  run</p>
<p>Into the dunes I run</p>
<p>
Trailed by 5 dark blotches into an unending sand<br />
With an unrelenting sun<br />
  irradiating the landscape till it dances
</p>
<p>
My tongue lies dumb in my mouth<br />
  Fat and useless
</p>
<p>
If words could help me now I'd only muster a single string of
incoherence
</p>
<p>Hearing finally escapes me</p>
<p>
Tiny little jabs push at my back like little lines that shove me forward
and nearly drop me to my knees
</p>
<p>
I find that a number of new little holes litter my chest<br />
Mini inverted craters - or volcanoes<br />
  They are bursting with red hot lava
</p>
<p>
The ground falls from my feet?<br />
Slowly spinning, I see the horizon shift from its usual place to -
entirely vertical
</p>
<p>
The sand slams my skull<br />
  I have no choice but to watch the sky
</p>
