Self-Destructive Sand Man
KjO’Boyle
Overjoyed she ran to Him – arms outstretched wide.
But when she got there- He was cold as ice.
Shot her black, blank stares, through rusted eyes.
Her soul became crusted . . . . instantly.
Instantly she dried.
Instantly her light, her freedom, her love, shriveled and died.
Like a Sand Man blown away.
Frozen, fried, and dispersed throughout the desert.
Her particles, one by one, but part of the greater haze-
Blasted Into The Wind!
Left behind no trace – of any prior concrete being.
And he was breathing stone – an inspiring statue.
Astute.
Finite.
Direct.
Unabashed.
There was no time for confusion – This was a first.
No time for question.
His response caused a reaction in her-
Hurled faster than light speed.
Faster than anything she’d ever felt before.
So, though blown away-
She Craved More.
