storm cloud over dakota badlands
i recall them now as through another's memory
border x border squared
heavy edged
600 pixels tall
when i stood beneath their belly
who was i?
was it me there unable to grasp the sadness of the past?
what these miles would bring?
longing
even as i went forward
there where more memories behind me
these things that were once for the future
faded
endless in their becoming
they no longer exist
storm cloud over dakota badlands
there are few eyes left to remember them
there are few moments left that are more than
just tomorrow
that are real
soon they will be confused
with other days other memories
the road will sink into nothing
the storm rages
washes the graves
cleanses the bones
polishes the mud
drowns the dust.
