Vapors rise and swirl between us…
Mitchel David Ring
All roads lead to Romanesque dreams…
No trace after they’ve passed through, only echoes…
silent breaths together lie still…
Take flight the conquering hero…
ten thousand lifetimes in a single breath exhaled…
In his right hand a sceptre, in his left a tattered grimoire…
Chandeliers flicker, holding dying flame…
can’t stop tearing can’t stop gnawing…
Clawing at stone, frantic, it crumbles away to dust and behind the wall are theater lights…
A broken branch found life again, grafted to a ray of starlight…
Waves rolling under iron-forged skies, clouds fighting to hold back the sun…
There’s no way through…
Dreams of rain in the sky above caught by the sun in clouded cells…
Nothing but sand and rock and dirt around, and the sun above casting vengeance on the world. If they left the car and never returned, dawn would have been enough to burn away any chance of survival. And yet no bodies in the sand.
