Awake Within A Dream
the man
stands tall
proud
defiant
the man
stands strong
blasted
by sand
exposed
to solar radiation
attacked
by tormenting winds
the man
stands surveying
witnessing
blessing
the man
stands towering
above desiccated playa
(remnant of ancient seas)
the man
stands guarding
two-legged beings scurrying constructing creating
awake within
hallucinatory fantasy
(or asleep
in alternate reality)
the man
stands sentenced
death by fire
sacrificial lamb
to gods
of illusion
the man
falls
mass transformed
into energy
amidst dancing laughter
celebration
the man’s smoke
and ashes merging
with dust and
waking dreams
