Flecks of gravel fly
Whisked by wind
to mingle with the dust
boil to shrapnel
assault in the name
of a name since forgotten.
Here a lone cricket can alight
to drink in the unholy draft,
Blanched and barren as ruptured fossil,
Timeless as a stagnant tomb.
Here there is how without why,
A lens but no eye,
a reservoir drained dry,
mired in a quarry of
angular echoes,
content to unhinge
to shovel and bury
the thinning threads
of recognition.
