Ghosts on the Horizon

Dust in my teeth. Sand in my vein. Sun's a hammer.

Splitting my brain. I see a shadow. Or is it a man?

He walks like smoke. Fades where I stand. Ghosts on the

horizon. Calling my name. Whispering lies. Playing their game. Ghosts on the

horizon. Won't let me go. Their voices burn. Their eyes like

snow. The sky bleeds red. The cactus weeps. The rattlesnake laughs.

While the valley sleeps. I reach for water. It turns to

stone. This desert to lie. It eats me alone.
