Desert dogs


As i was walking down the path
from Telouet to Aït Benhaddou
I had the desert and all of the silence in me
You had my vision and all its loneliness in you

I had just turned away from a dried up river
an empty village and a mysterious stranger
i reached a sharp bend on the road, the sky high the canyon low
the rocks withered, the silence came untold

It began with a gentle riot of peebles, like a magnetic draw
then shadows run across the side of the hill they were born from
and i suddenly was surrounded by a pack of desert dogs
drooling and howling, their yellow eyes like rotten claws


I got swallowed by the dogs


Because this is not a tale of visions, of symbols, of epiphany
it is not a tale of burning snakes, of pomegranates, of magic dreams
i will tell you just exactly how it feels, their deserted soul

I got used to roam the rocks in search of any type of prey
we hunted like a pack and divided swallowed the loot
it could be anything, a dead cat, a squeaking mouse, a root
this ferocious hurried meals is really all i have got to lose

With time i realized: this is not very far from how it used to be
it is like for certain humans that live for to swallow not for to breath
and if cupidity and greed will not be soon replaced with something else
well i must think the human soul will turn deserted like the one of them dogs

Well i must say when i see you coming, your flesh packed in your blue jeans
i do regret i do not feel you or love you like a brother, human being
i do suggest you to speed up or to jump back in your car
before i will press my jaws against the tenderness of your heart

this is how you are just another meal
maybe a better then usual one, but still
