Baldocaster - Mirage (2020)

All this time, along the purple desert, I’ve been against the grain and grit I’m treading. The stars and the maps they were making should have warned me against the direction I was taking. I’m heading through a desert belonging to a land of desolate desires. It’s a lonely place.

Water is so far from plenty my flask is stripping itself of its lining, and soon the weight of this heavy dark will make it feel like I’m carrying a castle. I raise it to my face and curse it.

Horrifying soundless sands span the foreseeable future. My skeleton will surely crumble into them... But I must keep it moving, got to keep it moving on.

Before the dawn, I will need to have passed through the purple canyons and the venom blue trees or so help me oh great ones I’ll be engulfed in the shifting land where time lays in wait for the dead.

All this time I’ve cried inside, but don’t feel for me for this was my decision. To change my life for the good was so bad. I want to go to a place that knew not my name, and I wanted to dry out in the rain. The pain drove me, it is true, but going from blue to black is no plan for any soul-searcher.
