Misty Tears
The hot rays
of the sun
  thread themselves around the surface of the
rock
The scorpion
underneath 
  holds its breath, incognito
Vapors
rising in agony 
  reach for the skies
Shouting
with might un-ending 
  desiring an outcome void of destiny
The blue
agama sits on the rock 
  contemplating the night
His color a
mismatch to the ground 
  bold he stands out
The cool
breeze 
  skies void of light
Silent is
the scorpion 
  holding its breath
The moon
rising, 
  misty tears in the sky
An omen to what has been
  and what is to come
To rise
again 
  in a new day
Not to what
has ended 
  but to what has begun
He dips his
fingers in the night
  Not a drop of the sun remains in sight
Bloodless
veins
  flowing with dry blood
What was 
  is, and to be
The scorpion
takes a breath
  and then silence
