Words

Sand Storm
by Khai Do

A taste of salt and sweat
my own lips and tongue graze
move, over smooth skin
my hand

the flavor of the universe, of oceans
foreign and forgotten, Neptune 
beyond a grey cloud hides

rain water, fresh
once it was not. I am not
washes over green grasslands,
leaving behind tiny dew 

never the desert, where I am 
belong, a reservoir of sand
an agent of fear.
