Oasis

a heart could rust

here I fear

disintegrate

cease to palpitate

In oasis

mirage

of  desert land

built of sand    

breath breeze

so light, it mocks

the dunes

to dust

to ruins

horizon                                                                                                     

never reached

sand castle parapets

never breached

in illusion’s

vapor

shift

a heart could die

here I fear

in oasis’

sand sift
