Survival instinct

By Itane Vero

Sat, 29 Jun 2013
  • 437 reads
 

When you live
in a desert
you even like it
finding
the skull
of a donkey.

You can
play with it.

You can put
your hand inside
the skull
and pretend
if the jaws
are talking to you.

This proves
ones again.

Even if you live
in a desert
it does not mean
you have

to be bored.
