			<title>Sand Lives</title>
			<description>They move sideways and then toward water,Taking their memories with them,Combing through Rapunzel grainsThey part their hair and rush.Their bodies spread like lines in a prayer,Haphazard and earnest; echoes of whispersSwim in unopened rooms of cravings.Crabs find it hard to let go...</description>

			<title>The Fluteplayer and Fire</title>
			<description>He has retired from the company of human ears,that blindly clapped to his sea foaming tunes.Crystal orchards flowed over his fingers then,music bending to his voluminous folklore tastes.Now, it is a bit different ,orange pools of moonlit wisdom dyes his locks by day,knowledge from books is like sand..</description>
