Wasteland
Wasteland
The solitude wears on me
This mundane chained to Wheels of Time
I feel like I'm breathing clay.
Now I know true thirst.
Cracks form around my eyes
As I squint into the horizon.
I can taste yellow.
Why can I taste yellow?
Sand whips into the crease of my mouth.
As I stand above my carcass
Watch the carrion birds make short
Work of my brittle bones
This dust-bowl
Tries to consume. . .
To extract your soul
In its marionette's pose
But they will never get it
No, no they will not
They are too late
For I gave it freely
To another
In this wasteland...

So what does yellow taste like?
You made me feel your thirst, but not like a "I need a drink" thirst, more like a stagnancy that is in need of quenching.
My favorite line:
"Watch the carrion birds make short
Work of my brittle bones"

Perhaps the light on the horizon is something tangible.
Those lines 'I can taste yellow. Why can I taste yellow' are stellar. A jab of realism amidst the dust.

That photo is intriguing. Reminds me a bit of Dali. The lyrics/poem... Very emotive. I know I thirst for so much more than what I have at this time.
Thank you for sharing Jaxe.

The consistency of images is great. So lonely. I imagine the time drying the souls of these people out, and literally eroding them. Good work!
