The Dream That Asked

A jungle bloomed upon the dune,
Its vines were stitched with silver moon.
A lemur laughed on shifting sand,
A riddle coiled in its tiny hand.

The Sphinx exhaled a silent cry,
“Will you answer, or pass me by?”
I stood between the step and flight,
The question burning into night.

I spoke no truth, I made no sound—
The dream just turned and sank in ground.
Yet still I wake with desert eyes,
And echoes shaped like lullabies.

the riddle of the spʰíŋk:  "the being that moves on four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening" ...  while finding the answer in this crooked and messed up game is difficult, i admit... but you can do it... (with a little introspection)...

Answer: Man (the human being).

  • In the morning of life (baby) → crawls on four legs
  • In the afternoon/midday (adult) → walks on two legs
  • In the evening (old age) → walks on three (with a cane/stick)
