Analysis of Beneath The Sand
Alone in the desert…
nothingness shouts in your ear
Where space like a giant megaphone of silence
calls to what is forever lost
Sirens of endless quartz in the wind
carrying the emptiness far
Sirens of endless quartz in the wind
—burying all you believe
(Dreamsleep: June, 2021)
