Dunes

Their souls dragged their bodies
across the dunes, as thirst chocked them.
Every one of them knew they were in the right place;
digging the dunes was cumbersome – sand kept on recollecting into the holes.
They were searching for anything that reminded
them who they really were.
A library of memories was buried beneath them;
its existence had become a legend.
Only that they forgot they had helped the desert storms to bury it.
