Dust Bowl Gods

you’re in a desert searching
for a god but
you can’t find him

the sand is hot beneath your
feet and you never
wanted to leave a place
more

but you’re looking for this
god because you have to
you don’t know why but
this god will

be your saviour (you don’t
even know if you need
a saviour)

the sun burns down on
you and your feet are
burned raw

you’re still searching for
a god in the desert
but you don’t even know
if he exists
