Always

Monoliths stand 
apart on a barren landscape,
harden, weathered
enduring a long sentence

Desert is dry,
the environment of your home
that views 
landscape from a safe distance 

Hidden storyline
on ochre painted walls 
within your crevices
penetrated by her eyes

Violated, exposed
you tightly hold on to her
silent pleads
never leave me anymore

Always is such a perpetuity.
