nowhere motel

this is where you'll sleep
tonight
at the height of exhaustion
and thirst
where there is vacancy
day and night
where it's too comfortable
to be considered a curse
one can say it is dirt cheap
and they'd be right
wallet-wise, it is
but spiritually steep
despite the amenities
it both promises and provides
to hide its sole purpose
casting lures into the sands
a bright, yet well hidden, jewel
on which weary, wandering eyes land
to which your soul is bound
upon being found and remains to be
as long as there are those who are lost
or have broken down in the middle
of nowhere
