To Paul Sibley's previous piece
I grasped for nothing
And stumbled amongst
The cacti and emptiness
Retching
Trying to spit you
Out of my system
Before the poison
Reached any deeper
Into my veins
Birds cawed
And mocked me
Circling around
My weak resolution
The sun blinding
My throat burning
Shadows fluttering above me
Paranoia, Fear, Want
Waiting to pick at the carcass
You had left behind
I'd survive
I'd drag myself out of this Oasis
Which was the burning, dangerous
Desert, you'd tricked my
Wanting heart to travel into
Believing in
