You once said
With absolute confidence
That man would fuck sand
If he could
Beast blood running
In man’s veins
Reducing sand to conquerable territory
Those lusty desert plains
Can you diminish sand
An uncountable seed
To a penetrable whole
Creating human form
As a destination
For your entitlement?
Imagine actually fucking sand
Inescapably falling
Grain by grain away from its entirety
Each frenzied thrust
Impenetrable, unconquerable
Man would fuck sand
If only he could
