The Desert
...another night traveling... the dunes are growing larger as I walk, my feet are heavier than before, even though I haven’t eaten anything in days... I’ve been wandering around, looking for that sun in your back… the one that kept me thinking about you, the one that took my peace away…
…It’s been three months since I first saw you… since that day, I haven’t been able to sleep, I haven’t been able to stop walking… walking through this dessert looking for your almond eyes, trying to figure out how did I lost my will power and started living just to see you once more… who are you? Where did you really come from? Which shogun sent you to kill me?
…I am so hungry for your lips, I’m starving for that only moment where I can see you and tell you how much I need you… but this dunes are caressing me more than the, always there, air… this dessert is beating me every minute more… I need to sleep…
I am so tired… I can’t go on…
… Vultures…
…I used to be the hunter, now I am the prey…
…I don’t feel my body… my flesh is no longer there… it was too late I guess… dehydrated like a broken heart… numb like a forgotten kiss… torn apart like a childhood dream… all that’s left of me has been spread throughout the dessert like the ashes of an ancient warrior… my cause was in vain, for you never appeared… I still can see parts of me near by… the vultures have gotten away with my torture… I can’t speak… I can’t move… all I need is one eye to see how they still eat what’s left of me… not even the bones are safe in this desert…
…there’s nothing left of me… why am I still here… aren’t I supposed to ascend or descend somewhere? Will I be in this coma forever? Why haven’t I been condemned yet? There’s nothing left of me…let me die… God!
…What is this?
…What is that? That noise… horses? …Horses!
…could it be?
