A Snowman in the Desert "Poem"


One cold night
I built a snowman
In the desert.
I built it around the sands, the cacti the camels,
Far away from the oasis,
Far away from winter, hail and snow.
I brought it to life for few hours
And sentenced it to melt down 
Above the scorching sand,
Beneath the sun
Far away from home
Far away from winter, hail and snow.
I later came back to
My house in that dismal exile
To sleep.
To dream of reunion, of return.
