My desert was a blank place

My desert,
was a blank place.
Animated by
random lucky
oases,
otherwise,
ignored.
When my
sirens faded,
and hope
sprang cactus,
I fell apart hard,
landed,
like a water-melted
witch,
on my own
long neglected,
hotbed of sand.
Each step was a
futher dissolution,
a deeper grind,
crumbling
into nowhere,
forcing me,
against my will,
to take a rest
in sifted
uncertainty.
The aching wetnesses,
muddy horizens,
took shape
only then.
I saw
giant totems
appear out
of my fog,
sagebrush,
rolling languidly,
amongst peaks
and canyons,
glinting with
insights,
fearless,
from now on.
