Aral Sea
1 min readNov 4, 2019
It was here
where they once lived
where the wind cries as it travels the land
looking for witnesses to listen to its song
to hear the tale of the sea that used to be here
until it was consumed like mother’s milk
until the land began to vaporise, leaving behind an orphaned wind
Now the wind has befriended the dust
trying to form fish, humans and trees
out of fleeting, momentary solar systems
