The Barren Court: Desert Bestiary

The Barren Court

I saw the beasts that prowl the dunes,

The serpents that coil in the heat,

The lizards that dart through the dust,

And I was filled with wonder.

I heard of the great sandstorm,

That can bury a man alive,

And of the wandering oasis,

That is the only refuge from the heat.

For the first time, I saw life

All around me in the sand;

The scaly, the clawed, the fanged,

All working together to survive.

And in that moment, I understood

Why they call it the land of the dead;

For in the desert, life is a battle,

And only the strong survive.
