Dunes of sand rise high in the distance, but my worries are greater than that. I wait for you at the base of our tree, watching the sun dip below the horizon as you fail to show. I miss what we used to be.The dunes now rise without you upon them.

i leaned
back on
the dune
and
breathed in
the hot air
while looking
for the
oasis.
my feet
were covered
in blisters
from walking
one hundred
days
and nights
searching for
a promise
and water,
both broken
and dry.
A dune is a natural hill, mound, or ridge of sand formed by the movement of wind or water, commonly found in deserts or along coastal beaches and lake shores. Created when wind or waves push and accumulate loose sand grains around an obstacle or shelter

You were on the other side of a dune
made of sand.
I was atop a mountain on the moon,
reaching out my hand.
We did not have much time
to spend reaching through the sky.
I didn’t understand it,
why you didn’t even try.
