Do you ever feel the way described in this poem?

It is as though I just conquered the desert
my fists clenched with sand still escaping
from the corners of my knuckles,
and you gaze at me from a corner with your pure liquid eyes.

My civvies still sodden from the retreating tide
that visited after I composed my plan.
Now that the excitement of the escape is resting,
the means and the way is still in the future,
not yet sitting on my mind.

'How' gazes at me from a corner.
I can't yet read the body but I see the clear liquid eyes,
they draw me in,
for you see I just came from the desert and what is on the corner
is how I will ensure I never have to return.
