 Like the eyes of balthuz 

Entwined in Bedouin oasis like a

Rope 
Around your neck
    No camel milk
  Or hibiscus tea
   Your skin is burnt and peeling off
You remember your family home
    And it burns behind your eyes
The dagger prods 
  "MOVE, SCUM-DOG"
You bark 
Like a dog 
 And snarl as the 
Sand burns
"The dogs bark but the caravan keeps moving"
You awake in a pool of sweat
